Workers Comp in Dharruk — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ward shifts at Mount Druitt Hospital, production work on the industrial strip and retail at the Westfield employ much of Dharruk. An injury on any of them means seeing a doctor, who examines you and completes the Certificate of Capacity your employer passes to the insurer. Our doctors handle the ongoing certificates, our psychologists see staff after aggressive incidents at work, and treatment is covered under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Dharruk — 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 DharrukGet 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.
