Workers Comp in Lilyfield — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Design and creative studios in the old warehouses, the Catherine Street cafes and the CBD commute cover most of Lilyfield's working week. An injury in any of them counts as a workplace injury, and the starting point is a medical appointment where the Certificate of Capacity is written. Our doctors handle that, plus the reviews that follow, and an accepted claim pays for your physiotherapy and psychology sessions.

Workers Comp in Lilyfield — 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 LilyfieldGet 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.
