Workers Comp in Newington — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Forklift work in the Silverwater sheds and long days at an Olympic Park desk send very different injuries our way from Newington. Either way, the Certificate of Capacity that opens a NSW claim comes out of a medical appointment. Our doctors issue and review it, then our physios work on the back or the wrist while the accepted claim covers the cost.

Workers Comp in Newington — 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 NewingtonGet 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.
