Workers Comp in Panania — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Delivery driving along Henry Lawson Drive and residential trade work around Panania account for most of the back and shoulder claims we handle here. Nothing gets lodged until a doctor has looked at the injury and filled in your Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors take responsibility for that document, and our physios treat the injury while the accepted claim meets the bill.

Workers Comp in Panania — 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 PananiaGet 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 Panania
Workers comp claims in Panania most often come from the local retail and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Office workers commuting from Panania catch the East Hills line into the city, but a fair chunk of the suburb works locally in the small-business retail strip and the trades servicing Revesby and Padstow renovations. WorkCover claims locally tend to involve sparkies and carpenters on residential jobs, plus the inevitable back injuries from delivery driving along the Henry Lawson Drive corridor.
