Workers Comp in Menai — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Chemical handling and repetitive technical work at ANSTO cause injuries that need a medical record from the very beginning. We book a WorkCover doctor, who examines you and issues the certificate that opens the claim. Retail staff at the Marketplace and tradies on local renovations should call us after any fall or lifting injury. Treatment costs sit with the insurer once the claim is accepted, and we line up physio.

Workers Comp in Menai — 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 MenaiGet 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.
