Workers Comp in Riverstone — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Scaffold falls, framing lifts and machinery incidents at the food-processing plants keep Riverstone claims coming while the growth corridor builds out. What you do in the first day or two shapes the rest of it, starting with reporting the injury and being examined by a doctor. We book you in with a WorkCover doctor, who writes the Certificate of Capacity and reviews it as you improve, and line up physio for the knee and shoulder.

Workers Comp in Riverstone — 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 RiverstoneGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Riverstone
Workers comp claims in Riverstone most often come from the local construction and manufacturing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Riverstone sits in the Hills growth corridor with the new Tallawong Metro station, the meatworks legacy and a steady construction front driving most local work. Workers compensation matters around Riverstone commonly involve falls from scaffolding on the heavy residential build-out, lifting injuries during framing and bricklaying, machinery crush incidents at the food-processing facilities and the cumulative knee and shoulder damage that follows long careers in concreting and earthworks.
