Workers Comp in Lansdowne — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hand, wrist and lower-back injuries from forklift and warehouse work make up most Lansdowne claims, with aged-care staff filing much of the rest. Get the injury reported at the depot or facility, then have a doctor examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle both parts of that appointment. The rehab work is ours too, and the accepted claim carries its cost.

Workers Comp in Lansdowne — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in LansdowneGet 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 Lansdowne
Workers comp claims in Lansdowne most often come from the local transport and manufacturing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Wedged between Hume Highway and the Lansvale industrial estates, Lansdowne sees its workforce split between transport depots, fabrication yards and the import-export warehouses that run toward Villawood. Hand, wrist and lower-back injuries from forklift and warehouse work feed most workers compensation matters in the area. Aged-care staff from nearby Bass Hill facilities also make up a noticeable share of injured workers.
