Workers Comp in Macquarie Links — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Few things derail a working week in Macquarie Links faster than a roofer working through summer heat dealing with a knee crunch from a roof slip or heat-stress collapse. Until the medical certificate is signed and on file, the workers comp claim is technically nothing; one informed visit gives it a pulse. From there the worker can think about getting better instead of getting paperwork in order.

Workers Comp in Macquarie Links — 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 Macquarie LinksGet 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.
