Workers Comp in Daceyville — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Daceyville workers turn up at UNSW labs, the Prince of Wales precinct, the shops at Eastgardens and on the tools around the suburb's older housing. None of that matters to the insurer until a doctor has examined the injury and written a Certificate of Capacity. We book a WorkCover doctor for it, and once the claim is accepted we line up the physio or psychology it pays for.

Workers Comp in Daceyville — How It Starts

1

See a WorkCover doctor

If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.

2

Get your Certificate of Capacity

Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.

3

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.
