Workers Comp in Carnes Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A common Carnes Hill scenario: a scaffolder breaking down a high-rise rig ends a shift with a torn ligament from a slip on wet planks and no clear sense of what paperwork comes next. The whole machine starts with one visit: the first doctor's appointment with someone who has seen the form a few times. The workers compensation pathway is procedural once that first visit is on file.

Workers Comp in Carnes Hill — 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 Carnes HillGet 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.
