Workers Comp in Emerton — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Retail floors, production lines and hospital wards around Emerton produce very different injuries, and all of them are claimable when the work caused them. The medical appointment is what puts that on the record, through the examination and the Certificate of Capacity the insurer needs. We book those appointments with a WorkCover doctor, and line up physio afterwards.

Workers Comp in Emerton — 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 EmertonGet 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.
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.
