Workers Comp in EveleighWhere to Start

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

Start-up desks, tower scaffolding and busy kitchens sit a few blocks apart at Eveleigh, and the claim pattern reflects all three. Wherever the injury came from, the insurer cannot approve treatment until a doctor has examined you and certified your capacity for work. The certificate is written by the doctor who sees you here, and our physios take the shoulder or wrist work once liability is sorted.

2

Get 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.

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.
