Workers Comp in RydeWhere to Start

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

Ryde Macquarie Park tech-corridor and Gladesville medical-facility workforce, plus school and light-industrial-zone staff, all hit the same first hurdle when it comes to lodging a workers comp claim. What actually shifts things is the first signed doctor's letter — a workers comp-aware GP writes one that holds up the first time. Once it is on the file, the worker can stop fielding paperwork questions and start treating the injury.

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.
