Workers Comp in Leppington — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
New housing estates, the freight moving along Camden Valley Way and the new retail strips employ most Leppington workers. An injury on any of them needs a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor before wages or treatment can be sorted out. Our doctors write it and stay across your restrictions. Our physios run the rehabilitation, covered by the insurer once your claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Leppington — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in LeppingtonGet 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.
