Workers Comp in Condell Park — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Condell Park injuries cluster around what the local jobs demand — a tiler with a knee that gave on a slick pitch. It all begins at one appointment: the medical certificate from the first appointment. Before that, the insurer has no formal claim to act on. A clinic used to WorkCover paperwork can save the kind of weeks no one budgeted for.

Book a doctor in Condell Park

Get 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.
