Workers Comp in Dundas ValleyWhere to Start

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

In Dundas Valley, the typical first call is from a formworker with a back that buckled mid-strip. There is one job to do first: the first medical visit, where a doctor familiar with WorkCover sets things up properly. Until that one record exists, the file has nothing to grow around. Once it is registered, the insurer has something to manage and pay against.

Book a doctor in Dundas Valley
2

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.

3

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.
