Workers Comp in Richards — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Greenfield sites around Richards run hard, and bricklayers, formworkers and roof crews take the injuries that come with that. If you have fallen, been struck or torn a shoulder on one of those pours, the claim starts at a medical appointment. Our doctors examine you, issue the Certificate of Capacity and record the restrictions your employer has to work around, while our physios manage the recovery.

Workers Comp in Richards — 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 RichardsGet 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 Richards
Workers comp claims in Richards most often come from the local construction and transport workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Richards is a new Western Sydney housing estate near Marsden Park and Angus, with the working population dominated by civil construction, residential building, transport and the trades feeding the wider North West Growth Area. WorkCover claims here cluster around bricklayer shoulder damage, formworker hand injuries, scaffold and roof falls on the constant greenfield pours, plus truck-driver disc problems off long yard hours on the rolling estate sites.
