Workers Comp in Whalan — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Two things have to happen after a workplace injury: your employer has to be told, and a doctor has to examine you. That examination produces the Certificate of Capacity a NSW insurer works from. We book Whalan warehouse, production, retail and nursing staff in with a WorkCover doctor. Treatment costs are the insurer's responsibility under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Whalan — 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 WhalanGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
