Workers Comp in Yagoona West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bakery and grocery work runs long hours, and the burns and wrist strain that come with it are workers compensation injuries like any other. So are the forklift and lifting injuries from the warehouses along the highway. Book a doctor's appointment and ask for the Certificate of Capacity while you are there. Our doctors and physios run the medical side of a Yagoona West claim, with treatment covered once it is accepted.

Workers Comp in Yagoona West — 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 Yagoona WestGet 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.
