Workers Comp in Valley Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Roof and carpentry work on the older fibro and brick housing around Valley Heights puts constant load on shoulders. Office workers here get the wrist and neck version of the same problem, and bushfire crews add burns each summer. None of those claims progresses until a doctor has assessed you and issued the certificate. That happens at the first visit, and our physios handle the rehabilitation the claim pays for.

Workers Comp in Valley Heights — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Valley HeightsGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Valley Heights
Workers comp claims in Valley Heights most often come from the local professional services and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Valley Heights sits between Warrimoo and Springwood in the lower Blue Mountains with residents largely in professional services commuting toward Penrith and the city, plus the trades servicing the lower-mountains renovation pipeline. WorkCover claims here usually involve keyboard wrist injuries, the chronic neck damage from long screen days, plus the shoulder and back strain carpenters and roofers carry from constant work on the area's older fibro and brick housing. Bushfire-response workers feature heavily each summer.
