Workers Comp in Greenacre — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Chemical exposure and joint damage that builds over years are claimable, even when there is no single incident to point to. What the insurer needs is medical evidence, which means an appointment and a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor. Your employer needs to know, and the exposure should be recorded. Our doctors document exposure and overuse injuries from the Roberts Road workshops and sites, and our physios treat what the accepted claim covers.

Workers Comp in Greenacre — 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 GreenacreGet 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.
