Workers Comp in Eastern CreekWhere to Start

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

Picture a Eastern Creek construction worker — a steel-fixer with a back that gave on a tie-off up tying bar. Things tip over once a Certificate of Capacity from a workers comp-experienced doctor lands with the insurer; the rest of the file follows naturally. Once the file is open, the rehab provider, employer and treating team finally have a shared starting point.

1

Book a doctor in Eastern Creek
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.
