Workers Comp in Kings Park — Where to Start

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

In Kings Park, the typical first call is from a roofer whose knee finally went on a tile course. What sets the wheels turning is a Certificate of Capacity from a clinician who handles workers comp paperwork weekly, not occasionally. After that, weekly payments and treatment funding start to operate to a real timeline.

The first 3 steps

Workers Comp in Kings 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 Kings 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.
