Workers Comp in Lawson — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Supermarket aisles, cafe kitchens, classrooms and steep renovation blocks around Lawson each carry their own injury risk. If one of them has left you unable to work normally, our doctors can examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity that opens the claim. Your employer sends that certificate to their insurer. Physiotherapy after an accepted claim is billed to the insurer rather than to you.

Workers Comp in Lawson — 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 LawsonGet 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.
