Workers Comp in Jamisontown — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Penrith Westfield retail floor workers, Nepean Hospital nurses with chronic patient-handling damage, plus Jamisontown carpenters and tile-setters on the constant residential build all start at the same place when a workplace injury forces a claim. It hinges on one early piece of paper: a tidy first write-up from a GP who has done WorkCover before. Without that paper trail, the wage replacement clock simply does not start.

Workers Comp in Jamisontown — 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 JamisontownGet 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.
