Workers Comp in Kingsdene — Where to Start

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

Around Kingsdene, a site supervisor walking a half-built tower dealing with a slip on a wet stair or a falling-object impact is a weekly story rather than a rare one. It hinges on one early task: the early assessment that puts the claim on the record. Without it on file, claim managers have nothing to action. WorkCover-trained doctors know what the insurer needs and write to that level.

Book a doctor in Kingsdene

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.
