Workers Comp in Peakhurst — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hand and wrist injuries from machinery are the most common reason Peakhurst workers end up on a claim, and they are rarely something you can work around. Your claim will need the injury documented by a doctor and a Certificate of Capacity in the file. Our doctors provide both, and the hand, wrist or back rehabilitation afterwards comes from our physios on the insurer's account.

Workers Comp in Peakhurst — 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 PeakhurstGet 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.
