Workers Comp in Hoxton Park — Where to Start

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

Cowpasture Road warehouse and freight workers, plus the Middleton Grange construction flow, generate Hoxton Park workers compensation claims dominated by reach-truck pinning trauma, picker shoulder injuries and scaffolder strain. The starting line is well-marked: a Certificate of Capacity drafted at the first medical visit. Until that piece is sorted, the rest of the claim is theoretical. The sooner that visit happens, the cleaner the rest of the claim runs.

Workers Comp in Hoxton Park — 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 Hoxton 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.
