Workers Comp in Homebush West — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Crate lifting on the market floor is the kind of work where a back gives out slowly over several seasons. If yours has, a doctor's appointment and a Certificate of Capacity are what open the claim. For security staff with accepted psychological claims after an assault, we line up a psychologist. We line up treatment for lifting injuries and burns, covered under an accepted claim.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
