Workers Comp in Theresa Park — Where to Start

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

Theresa Park Cobbitty-and-Werombi market-gardens, equine workers and Camden-area trade-services tradies, all end up needing one early doctor visit to start a workers comp file. Booking the first medical visit with someone who handles WorkCover files daily is the difference between a stuck file and a live one. From there, the worker stops chasing the insurer and the insurer starts chasing the diary.

Workers Comp in Theresa Park — How It Starts

See a WorkCover doctor

If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.

Book a doctor in Theresa Park

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.

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.
