Workers Comp in Glenbrook — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Building on the escarpment blocks around Glenbrook means uneven footing and awkward lifting, and the supermarket, cafe and ward jobs in the area cause their own strains and burns. A claim needs medical evidence from the start, and the Certificate of Capacity is where that evidence goes. That certificate is written by our doctors, and our physios take over once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Glenbrook — 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 GlenbrookGet 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.
