Workers Comp in Cabramatta West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Plenty of Cabramatta West workers turn up with the same complaint — a labourer with a back gone after kerb-and-gutter work. The first GP visit is the lever — a workers comp-aware appointment is enough to shift the day from stuck to genuinely underway. Things then sit in sequence: payments, treatment, scans, and a structured return to work.

Workers Comp in Cabramatta 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 doctor in Cabramatta 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.
