Workers Comp in East Hills — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ladder falls and worn-out knees come out of the renovation work across Panania and Picnic Point, and the office side of East Hills brings its own neck and back problems. Either way, the injury has to be seen and written up on a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will act on your claim. That part is done by our doctors, and our physios work on getting you back to full duties safely.

Workers Comp in East Hills — How It Starts
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.
Book a WorkCover doctor in East HillsGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in East Hills
Workers comp claims in East Hills most often come from the local construction and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Train commuters on the East Hills line make up a fair chunk of the workforce here, splitting time between Bankstown and Sydney CBD office jobs. The riverside pocket of East Hills also draws tradies working renovations across Panania and Picnic Point, where WorkCover claims most often involve falls from ladders, knee injuries and the chronic back pain that comes with a career in residential construction.
