Workers Comp in Canley Vale — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Deep-fryer burns, knife cuts and pallet-jack injuries around Canley Vale often get treated at home first, which leaves nothing on record. A workers compensation claim runs on medical evidence, starting with an examination and a Certificate of Capacity written by a doctor. Our doctors handle both, and our physios take on the standing, stocking and lifting injuries that shop and depot work produces once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Canley Vale — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Canley ValeGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
