Workers Comp in Taren Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
WorkCover Hub is a clinic, so a Taren Point warehouse or panel-shop injury gets treated at the same visit it gets documented. Tell the doctor which machine or task was involved, because that detail follows the claim all the way through. You leave with a Certificate of Capacity for your employer and the insurer. Physiotherapy for a crushed hand or a worn shoulder is covered once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in Taren Point — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Taren PointGet 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.
