Workers Comp in Merrylands — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Plenty of Merrylands residents do heavy work, from the Stockland retail floors to the warehouses at Pemulwuy and Greystanes. After an injury, a doctor has to assess you and complete a Certificate of Capacity, which our doctors do at the first appointment. Your employer has to notify the insurer once you hand it over. Back, shoulder and wrist rehabilitation with our physios follows on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Merrylands — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in MerrylandsGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Merrylands
Workers comp claims in Merrylands most often come from the local retail and manufacturing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Merrylands' shopping centre and Stockland mall make retail the biggest visible employer, but the surrounding industrial belt — including the large Pemulwuy and Greystanes estates just to the west — layers heavy manufacturing and warehousing onto the workforce. Ongoing apartment construction around the station precinct keeps trades in constant demand.
