Workers Comp in Mascot — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Baggage, ground handling, catering and hotel work around Mascot are heavy, repetitive jobs, and the injuries reflect that. After you have told your employer, a doctor examines you and writes the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle the certificate and any imaging or referrals. Our physios treat the injury once the insurer accepts the claim, at no charge to you.

Workers Comp in Mascot — 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 MascotGet 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.
