Workers Comp in Chifley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Container and warehouse work along Botany Road is heavy, and the knees, shoulders and backs of Chifley workers take the brunt of it. Cafe, pub and aged-care shifts add burns, slips and manual-handling injuries to the local claim mix. The move after any of them is a medical appointment, where the examination and Certificate of Capacity open the claim. Once the claim is accepted, your physio appointments here are billed to the insurer.

Workers Comp in Chifley — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ChifleyGet 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.
