Workers Comp in North Parramatta — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Patient handling on the wards and scaffold work on the North Parramatta towers put people out of action in different ways. Whichever applies to you, nothing moves on a claim until a doctor has examined the injury and written a Certificate of Capacity. The doctor writes and revises it as your capacity changes, and the physio we line up is covered once the insurer accepts liability.

Workers Comp in North Parramatta — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in North ParramattaGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
