Workers Comp in Chester Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Pallet-jack pinning trauma, picker shoulder strain, plus plasterer and tiler wrist overuse define the Chester Hill workers compensation caseload. The starting line is well-marked: a complete report from the first appointment. Once that GP visit is logged, wages and physio funding start without further drama. Getting to a WorkCover-experienced GP early is usually the difference between weeks and months.

Workers Comp in Chester 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 WorkCover doctor in Chester 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.
