Workers Comp in Merrylands West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hearing loss from years on the Yennora estate is a workers compensation injury, even though nothing dramatic happened on any single shift. Our doctors assess gradual-onset injuries as readily as sudden ones and issue the Certificate of Capacity either way. Checkout strain, factory burns and knee damage from renovation crawl-spaces all belong in the scheme. With an accepted claim, the insurer covers treatment and our physios handle the rehabilitation.

Workers Comp in Merrylands West — 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 Merrylands WestGet 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 West

WorkCover claims tend to involve retail checkout repetitive strain, factory-line burns and shoulder injuries, plumbing and electrical knee damage from renovation crawl-spaces, plus the noise-induced hearing loss that follows long Yennora warehouse careers.
