Workers Comp in Sylvania Southgate — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A shopping-centre or restaurant shift leaves its mark on knees, hips and shoulders, and those injuries qualify for a claim when the work caused them. Get the injury examined and written up, because nothing is funded until a Certificate of Capacity exists. We book a WorkCover doctor who completes it, using whatever incident details your employer has recorded. With the claim accepted, we line up physio for the knee, hip and shoulder.

Workers Comp in Sylvania Southgate — 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 Sylvania SouthgateGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
