Book a doctor in Glenmore 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.

Common workers comp claims in Glenmore Park

Workers comp claims in Glenmore Park most often come from the local construction and manufacturing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.

Glenmore Park's planned residential estates sit south of the M4 and east of the Penrith CBD, with residents commuting to construction, manufacturing and trade jobs across the Penrith and St Marys industrial belts. Workers compensation matters in Glenmore Park lean heavily toward knee, back and shoulder injuries from the construction trades, plus standing-related musculoskeletal claims from retail staff working the surrounding shopping centres along Mulgoa Road.
