Workers Comp in Woronora — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
You can be on a NSW workers compensation claim and still be working, provided a doctor has set out what you are able to do. That is the job of the Certificate of Capacity, and it is the first document in any claim. Our doctors write it for the Woronora tradies and hospital staff who come to us. Our physios then work on the back and shoulder injuries that follow them home.

Workers Comp in Woronora — 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 WoronoraGet 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.
