Workers Comp in Cambridge Gardens — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A Nepean Hospital nurse with chronic shoulder damage from patient transfers, or a tiler on a Penrith corridor build with wrist strain, both find the workers compensation pathway opens at one specific point. Most of the work is in the first appointment: a Certificate of Capacity, lodged the same week as the injury where possible. Without it, even the obvious calls cannot be made by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Cambridge Gardens — 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 Cambridge GardensGet 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.
