Workers Comp in Eastgardens — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Shopping-centre work looks light until your wrist gives out from scanning or your back stops tolerating the hard flooring, and the freight jobs running toward Port Botany add lifting injuries on top. Whether it happened in one moment or over years, the claim needs the certificate that only a medical appointment can produce. Ours write them for Eastgardens workers, and our physios handle the wrist, shoulder or back rehab afterwards.

Workers Comp in Eastgardens — 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 EastgardensGet 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.
