Workers Comp in Petersham North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Plenty of Petersham North residents work kitchen shifts, hospital wards, or tools inside terraces being pulled apart and rebuilt. Whichever one you do, a work injury runs the same way. You report it to your employer, and a doctor examines you and issues the Certificate of Capacity that opens the claim. We book that appointment, then line up physio and psychology.

Workers Comp in Petersham North — 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 Petersham NorthGet 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.
