Workers Comp in Wareemba — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A burn on a Great North Road cafe shift and a knee injury on a Wareemba renovation both go through the NSW workers compensation scheme. Either way it starts with a doctor's examination, and the certificate goes from your employer to the insurer. Our doctors run that appointment. Back and knee rehabilitation with our physios begins once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in Wareemba — 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 WareembaGet 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.
