Workers Comp in Guildford West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Long careers in distribution warehouses tend to end with a knee or a back that will not take another shift. That is a workers compensation matter, and the way to test it is a medical assessment and a Certificate of Capacity. The doctor we book takes the work history properly, which is what a gradual-onset claim turns on. We then line up the knee and back rehab that an accepted claim pays for.

Workers Comp in Guildford West — 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 Guildford WestGet 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.
