Workers Comp in Liverpool South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Nursing and aged-care staff, shop workers on Macquarie Street and the carpenters and tilers on the new estates make up the Liverpool South caseload. If your back or shoulder has gone at work, the claim needs a doctor's examination first. The Certificate of Capacity we issue records what your employer can safely ask of you. Your physio program runs at the insurer's cost while the claim stands.

Workers Comp in Liverpool South — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Liverpool SouthGet 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.
