Workers Comp in Richmond — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Farm blocks on the river flats, estate builds through the growth corridor and the university campus all feed the Richmond claim mix. Rollovers, livestock injuries, scaffold falls and repetitive strain each run through the same NSW process, starting with a doctor's examination and the Certificate of Capacity. That first appointment is with one of our doctors, and our physios manage the rehabilitation the insurer funds.

Workers Comp in Richmond — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For machinery, livestock, or chemical exposure incidents on-site, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in RichmondGet 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 Richmond
Workers comp claims in Richmond most often come from the local agriculture and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Richmond sits along the Hawkesbury River at the western edge of the Sydney basin, with residents working at the RAAF Richmond base, the agricultural blocks running across the river flats, the construction trade through the Hawkesbury growth corridor, and the Western Sydney University campus. WorkCover claims here split between defence-personnel lifting and equipment injuries, harvester rollovers and livestock kicks, scaffold falls on the surrounding builds, plus university staff repetitive-strain claims.
