Workers Comp in Ingleburn — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Across Ingleburn, the story that keeps coming back is a bricklayer with tendinopathy that crept in over a long mortar job. Things start moving once a WorkCover-experienced doctor signs a Certificate of Capacity and lodges it with the insurer. Once it is filed, scans, allied-health visits and review dates each have somewhere to attach.

Workers Comp in Ingleburn — 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 WorkCover doctor in IngleburnGet 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.
