Workers Comp in Dharruk — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Mount Druitt Hospital nurses with patient-aggression injuries and Westfield Mount Druitt retail staff with stocking complaints both share a Dharruk workers compensation entry point. The shortest path runs through one visit: a Certificate of Capacity, drafted during a consultation with a WorkCover-trained GP. After it lands with the insurer, lawyers, physios and employers stop guessing and start working.

Workers Comp in Dharruk — 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 DharrukGet 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.
