Workers Comp in Schofields — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Estate builds run continuously through Schofields, and a fall from height or a crush injury on one of them can put you off work with no warning. The first move is a medical appointment: our doctors examine the injury and issue the Certificate of Capacity that starts the claim and sets your work restrictions. Concreters, form-workers and plant operators are then treated by our physios while the insurer covers the cost.

Workers Comp in Schofields — 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 SchofieldsGet 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.

Schofields sits in the North-Western growth corridor along the rail line next to Tallawong and Riverstone, with most working residents in construction trades servicing the rolling Marsden Park, Schofields and Tallawong builds.
