Workers Comp in South Wentworthville — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Once your employer reports the injury, the insurer opens a claim and decides whether to accept it, and the medical evidence carries most of that decision. Our doctors do that examination and complete the Certificate of Capacity the insurer relies on. Hospital manual-handling injuries, supermarket lifting strain and apartment-site falls around South Wentworthville all follow this route. Accepted claims cover the physiotherapy and psychology that follow.

Workers Comp in South Wentworthville — 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 WentworthvilleGet 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.
