Workers Comp in Chullora — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Sorting parcels, driving forklifts and standing on concrete all day is the daily reality across the Chullora distribution estates. Wrist, shoulder, back and knee damage from that work belongs in a claim, and the Certificate of Capacity your doctor writes is what opens it. That comes from our doctors, and our physios treat the overuse that sorting and stacking cause, funded by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Chullora — 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 ChulloraGet 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.
