Workers Comp in West Pennant Hills — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Injuries that build slowly are claimable in NSW, so a wrist or neck problem from months of screen work belongs in the scheme the same way a fall does. The claim behind it starts with a medical assessment and the certificate a doctor writes. Our doctors assess office workers who commute out of West Pennant Hills as well as the retail staff working closer to home. Physiotherapy is funded by the insurer from the point your claim is accepted.

Book a WorkCover doctor in West Pennant HillsGet 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
