Workers Comp in Parliament HouseWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Long administrative days and event shifts in the Macquarie Street precinct wear on necks, backs and wrists over time. Slips on the old stairs and floors around the precinct go through the same process. When any of it stops you working, a doctor has to examine you and complete a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write those, and an accepted claim covers your sessions with our physios and psychologists.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
