Workers Comp in Padstow — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Factory work around Padstow produces crush injuries and cuts on the day, plus shoulder damage that shows up years later. Either kind is claimable, and the Certificate of Capacity a doctor writes after examining you is what opens the file. Our doctors do that part, and the shoulder or hand work afterwards belongs to our physios, with the insurer meeting the cost.

Workers Comp in Padstow — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in PadstowGet 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 Padstow
Workers comp claims in Padstow most often come from the local manufacturing and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Padstow sits along the East Hills line with a strong manufacturing and light-industrial spine between Davies Road and the Salt Pan Creek estates. Locals work in panel-beating shops, food production, electrical wholesale and the retail strips around the station. WorkCover injuries here often involve crush, laceration and shoulder strain from factory work, plus driving-related back issues from the depots feeding south-western Sydney.
