Workers Comp in Webbs CreekWhere to Start

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

Webbs Creek sees these stories regularly — a bricklayer with chronic elbow pain from a long mortar run. The medical certificate from that first visit is the trigger — until a workers comp-trained doctor signs one, the insurer's hands are tied. From there, wages, physio and a return-to-work plan fall into a clear sequence.

Book a doctor in Webbs Creek
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.
