Workers Comp in Cranebrook — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nepean Hospital, Penrith Westfield and the new-build sites around Cranebrook employ a big share of the suburb. If one of them injures you, start with a medical appointment where the injury is examined and a Certificate of Capacity is written. Our doctors take it from there with the insurer, and our physios treat the lifting injuries and the joint wear that ward and trade work leave behind.

Workers Comp in Cranebrook — 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 CranebrookGet 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.
