Workers Comp in Pagewood — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Stockroom lifting and forklift work around Eastgardens account for most Pagewood claims, with the Daceyville renovation sites adding falls and strains. Claims here open the same way they do anywhere in NSW, at a medical appointment that ends with a Certificate of Capacity. Once the insurer accepts the claim, your appointments with our physios are covered, and our doctors keep the certificates coming.

Workers Comp in Pagewood — 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 PagewoodGet 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.
