Workers Comp in Kurrajong Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Harvest work, kitchen shifts and building on the steep blocks above the valley are the main sources of injury at Kurrajong Heights. A burn, a cut or a back that has gone all follow the same route into the NSW scheme, which begins with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors carry that out. With an accepted claim, your physio and psychology treatment is paid for.

Workers Comp in Kurrajong Heights — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Kurrajong HeightsGet 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.
