Workers Comp in Wolli Creek — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Tower construction and airport freight keep many Wolli Creek residents in physical jobs, and hospitality fills much of the rest. A fall from height is treated as an emergency, but the claim behind it still needs a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors provide the certificate and the ongoing medical review that goes with it. Our psychologists are there if the incident stays with you afterwards.

Workers Comp in Wolli Creek — 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 Wolli CreekGet 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.
