Workers Comp in Parramatta — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Parramatta's healthcare staff at Westmead, government workers and large-scale-development construction tradies all generate workers compensation claims sharing a procedural opening. One small thing kicks the rest off: the assessment that formally opens the claim. Before it is in writing, even a clear injury looks invisible to the system. A clinic familiar with these claims will know what to write and how fast to move.

Workers Comp in Parramatta — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ParramattaGet 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.
