Workers Comp in Forestville — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bathroom and tile work is hard on wrists, and the hospital and retail shifts around Forestville bring back injuries and floor slips. The examination that follows any of those should produce a Certificate of Capacity, since the insurer works from it. The doctor we book writes it and reviews it as you improve, and we line up hands-on physio.

Workers Comp in Forestville — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ForestvilleGet 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.
