Workers Comp in Fairfield East — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Chemical exposure and hearing loss are workplace injuries in the same way a grinder cut is, even when they show up years later. Fairfield East workers in fabrication, spray booths and food production see all of it. Get the injury or exposure examined and recorded on a Certificate of Capacity, and our doctors will document it the way the insurer needs while our physios treat what can be treated.

Workers Comp in Fairfield East — 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 Fairfield EastGet 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.
