Workers Comp in Chester Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Warehouse and light-manufacturing work along the industrial estates leaves Chester Hill workers with pinning injuries, shoulder tears and worn wrists. Plasterers and tilers on the Cumberland build carry the same overuse damage. Have a doctor examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity before you deal with the insurer. We do that here, and our physios take the injury on from there under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Chester Hill — 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 Chester HillGet 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.
