Workers Comp in Milperra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Forklift work and warehouse lifting around the Bankstown Airport estates put backs under constant load. When one gives out, the first appointment is with a doctor, because the Certificate of Capacity comes from that examination and the insurer will not move without it. Our doctors write it, then update it whenever your capacity shifts. An accepted claim brings the physiotherapy cost onto the insurer, and our physios do the treating.

Workers Comp in Milperra — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in MilperraGet 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 Milperra
Workers comp claims in Milperra most often come from the local transport and warehousing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Milperra straddles the Georges River and the M5 freight corridor, with much of the local workforce in transport, warehousing, and manufacturing around the Bankstown Airport industrial estates. Forklift and back injuries dominate workers compensation claims, alongside the trade injuries from the East Hills housing renovations. Western Sydney University's Milperra campus also adds a layer of healthcare and education workers.
