Workers Comp in Heckenberg — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Pinning and crush injuries from pallet jacks and reach trucks tend to be obvious on the day and awkward a month later when the shoulder still will not lift. Both stages need a medical appointment before the claim can be assessed, and you should leave with a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors assess Heckenberg workers from the Prestons and Moorebank estates, and our physios take the rehab once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Heckenberg — 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 HeckenbergGet 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.
