Workers Comp in AlexandriaWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

It doesn't matter whether you're a film-set hand rigging gear in Alexandria with a back injury from cable cases or a slip on a wet location floor or somebody else — the first move is identical. Whichever way the injury unfolded, the doctor's note from a workers comp-aware first appointment is what makes everything afterwards possible. From that point the claim moves on rails, not on hope.

See a WorkCover doctor

Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
