Workers Comp in Mount PritchardWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Fabrication and factory rosters in the Smithfield and Wetherill Park estates damage hands, knees and hearing over time. Those injuries are assessed by our doctors, who issue the Certificate of Capacity your insurer needs. Report the injury to your employer even if it developed slowly over years. Accepted claims cover treatment, and our physios work on the knee, hand and shoulder problems this work produces.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
