Workers Comp in South Penrith — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Plenty of South Penrith claims start with someone finishing a shift they should not have finished, then finding the pain worse the next day. The sooner a doctor documents it, the cleaner the claim. Our doctors examine you, write the Certificate of Capacity and set the duties you can handle while you recover. Nursing back injuries, retail lifting strain and scaffold falls on the new estates are all treated by our physios under the claim.

Workers Comp in South Penrith — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in South PenrithGet 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.
