Workers Comp in Riverwood — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Before anything else, an injured worker in NSW needs a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity, and Riverwood site, security and retail workers are no different. We book a WorkCover doctor, who writes that certificate, notes the duties you can still do and updates it. We then line up physio for the crush, lifting and repetitive-strain injuries from demolition sites and warehouse floors along the M5, paid by the insurer on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Riverwood — 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 RiverwoodGet 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 Riverwood
Workers comp claims in Riverwood most often come from the local construction and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Riverwood's older walk-ups and the public housing renewal around Bryant Avenue draw a steady stream of demolition, construction and security workers, with retail staff filling the Riverwood Plaza and Punchbowl Road shops. The bulk of WorkCover claims here cover manual-handling and crush injuries from site work, plus repetitive-strain and slip injuries from supermarket and warehouse roles along the M5 corridor.
