Workers Comp in Werrington County — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Estate sites around Werrington County and the university campus generate different injuries, from formwork hand damage to catering and keyboard strain. Funding for treatment only starts after a medical examination and a written certificate. Our doctors provide that, and they list what duties you can safely return to. Our physios then work on the hand and shoulder injuries under that claim.

Workers Comp in Werrington County — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Werrington CountyGet 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.
