Workers Comp in Werrington DownsWhere to Start

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

Take a typical Werrington Downs file — a chippy who took a fall from scaffold on a residential site. There is one job to do first: the first doctor's appointment, with a GP used to these forms. Once that record exists, scans, physio and a return plan all queue up behind it. For a workers compensation claim, the first record is half the work.

Workers Comp in Werrington Downs — How It Starts

1

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 Werrington Downs
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.
