Workers Comp in Macquarie Fields — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Warehouse picking, forklift work, construction sites and hospital shifts cover most of the calls we get from Macquarie Fields. Book a medical appointment before you worry about forms, because the Certificate of Capacity from that visit is what your employer lodges with the insurer. The doctor writes it and reviews it as your capacity changes. Once your claim is accepted, we line up physio for the recovery.

Book a WorkCover doctor in Macquarie FieldsGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
