Workers Comp in Mount Riverview — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ladder falls on the steep timbered blocks break wrists and damage backs. Without a medical examination and a Certificate of Capacity, the insurer has nothing to act on. Our doctors carry out that examination and keep the paperwork with the insurer up to date. Rail-maintenance workers with back injuries and retail staff from Penrith and Springwood have the same cover, and our physios do the hands-on treatment once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in Mount Riverview — 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 RiverviewGet 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.
