Workers Comp in Caddens — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Plenty of Caddens claims look the same on paper — a fabricator on a welding bay with arc-eye, lung irritation, or burns through PPE, and no clear sense of what to do next. One small thing kicks the rest off: a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor who recognises the form on sight. After it is sorted, the workers comp file gains a real shape.

Workers Comp in Caddens — 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 CaddensGet 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.
