Workers Comp in Mount Colah — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
If a steep-block renovation has done your back in, or a shift on the wards has, the process runs the same way for both. A doctor examines you and writes the Certificate of Capacity that starts the claim. That certificate goes to your employer, who notifies the insurer. Accepted claims pay for physiotherapy, and our physios treat the carpenter and roofer back damage along with nursing manual-handling strain.

Workers Comp in Mount Colah — 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 Mount ColahGet 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 Mount Colah
