Workers Comp in Kurrajong Hills — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kurrajong Hills orchard and stonefruit workers with chronic back, shoulder and wrist injuries, plus Hawkesbury rural-trade tradies and Richmond and Penrith commuters, all need the same opening medical visit before any workers comp file can move. Until the first signed medical note lands with the insurer, the workers compensation claim is essentially paused — and one informed appointment is enough. Once it is filed, the dates do the heavy lifting.

Workers Comp in Kurrajong Hills — 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 Kurrajong HillsGet 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.
