Workers Comp in Woronora Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ladder work on the split-level homes around Woronora Heights is where plenty of local injuries begin, and a fall usually means time off. Get examined by a doctor and get the Certificate of Capacity, because that is what lets the insurer approve treatment and weekly payments. Our doctors handle the medical side and update the certificate as you improve. Rehab for the knee or wrist comes next with our physios, funded by the claim.

Workers Comp in Woronora Heights — 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 Woronora HeightsGet 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.
