Workers Comp in Cherrybrook — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
School staff make up much of the on-ground workforce in Cherrybrook, and their injuries run from lifting strain to slips on hard floors and playground surfaces. Landscapers and renovation tradies working local streets add the usual back and shoulder claims. A doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity open the claim, and the treatment that follows comes from our physios and psychologists, paid for by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Cherrybrook — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CherrybrookGet 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.
