Workers Comp in Pennant Hills — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
One pattern repeats across Pennant Hills: an accountant deep in EOFY workload finishes a shift with a psychological-injury claim or shoulder pain from poor desk setup and needs to know where to start. The starting line is well-marked: the Certificate of Capacity produced at the first medical visit. A workers compensation claim sets up cleanly when the opening GP is the right one.

Workers Comp in Pennant Hills — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a doctor in Pennant 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.
