Workers Comp in St PetersWhere to Start

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

St Peters Burrows Road light-manufacturing, warehouse-logistics and trade-services workers, plus M8 motorway construction crews and the brewery and food-production workforce, all share one starting point inside the workers compensation system. It really turns on the first doctor's appointment — a workers comp-experienced clinician hands back a signed note and the file is open. From there, treatment funding, scans and a graded return all line up in order.

Workers Comp in St Peters — How It Starts

1

Book a doctor in St Peters
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.
