Workers Comp in La Perouse — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Asbestos exposure on older fibro housing is a real concern for tradies working around La Perouse, alongside the back strains and slips that come with freight and coastal venue work. All of these are claimable in NSW once the medical evidence is in place, which means an examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors document exposure history in detail, which the insurer will ask about. Accepted claims cover your treatment costs.

Workers Comp in La Perouse — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in La PerouseGet 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.
