Workers Comp in Hillside — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Horse work and horticulture on the Hillside acreages produce injuries that a weekend of rest never quite fixes. When one stops you working, book with a doctor and get the Certificate of Capacity that lets your employer lodge the claim. Our doctors also see the desk-based strain claims from the Norwest commute. Accepted claims cover physiotherapy, which our own team provides.

Workers Comp in Hillside — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For machinery, livestock, or chemical exposure incidents on-site, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in HillsideGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Hillside
Workers comp claims in Hillside most often come from the local agriculture and equine workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Hillside is a Hornsby Shire rural pocket near Glenorie and Annangrove, with the small working population in horticulture, equine, the trades servicing the surrounding acreage and the senior professional services commuters heading toward Norwest. Workers compensation claims out of Hillside typically involve horse-related fall and crush injuries, back and shoulder strain from fencing and stockwork, and the chainsaw and falls claims that come with rural maintenance on undulating ground.
