Workers Comp in Smithfield West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Heavy-vehicle drivers running the M4 and Cowpasture Road corridors often keep driving on a bad back until it stops them altogether. A NSW claim covers that kind of gradual damage as well as a container-handling crush injury. Our doctors provide the assessment and the certificate; your employer takes it from there. Our physios then work on the back and shoulder problems that long freight runs cause.

Workers Comp in Smithfield West — 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 Smithfield WestGet 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.
