Workers Comp in Picnic PointWhere to Start

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

The call usually comes after a tough shift: a retail floor staffer reshelving stock in Picnic Point, an overhead-reach shoulder strain or a fall off a step stool, and a strong hunch the claim won't sort itself. The single decisive step is an early visit to a clinician who knows the workers comp scheme cold, not just in theory. From that point the claim moves on rails, not on hope.

Book a doctor in Picnic Point
2

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.

3

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.

Picnic Point's quiet riverside streets sit between the Georges River and the East Hills rail line, with residents heading out daily to building sites across Bankstown and trade-services work along the Milperra and Revesby industrial estates.
