Workers Comp in Penrith — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Falls and crush injuries come with the infrastructure and residential work that dominates Penrith. The claim behind one starts with a doctor examining you and completing a Certificate of Capacity, which records your work capacity. The physio we line up is paid for by the insurer under an accepted claim, and the doctor reviews the certificate as you go. Where an injury has left you struggling to face work, we line up a psychologist on the same claim.

Workers Comp in Penrith — 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 PenrithGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
