Workers Comp in Englorie Park — Where to Start

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

Campbelltown Hospital nurses with chronic back damage and Englorie Park concreters working the south-west building program both face workers compensation claims that open at the same step. The whole file rests on one early move: a Certificate of Capacity, signed by a doctor who knows the WorkCover side of the paperwork. Without that record, even a clear injury can sit in limbo for weeks.

Book a doctor in Englorie 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.
