Workers Comp in Auburn South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Container handlers strained from a Silverwater shift, or freight drivers carrying lumbar damage from long Parramatta Road runs — Auburn South workers compensation matters all share one entry point. The assessment that opens the claim is deceptively simple — the right doctor, an honest job description, and the workers compensation file is live. From there the conversation shifts from 'what do I do' to 'when is the next appointment'.

Workers Comp in Auburn South — 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 doctor in Auburn SouthGet 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.
