Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Aged-care and nursing staff on the Campbelltown wards lift people all shift, and the back and shoulder damage that causes is one of the most common Rosemeadow claims.

Book a WorkCover doctor in Rosemeadow

Get 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.
