Workers Comp in Marrickville — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Factory hands, food producers, warehouse staff and baristas all work a few streets apart in Marrickville. A crush injury on a production line and a wrist worn out behind a coffee machine both need a doctor's certificate before the insurer will pay for anything. The Certificate of Capacity we write also lists the duties you should avoid. Your recovery work with our physios is covered by the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Marrickville — 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 MarrickvilleGet 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.
