It is crucial to notify work of your work-related injury ASAP. The next formal step is to complete an Incident Report with your employer.
See a doctor so they can check your work-related injury and obtain a Workers’ Compensation Medical Certificate. If your employer sends you to their doctor, you may want to consider also going to see your own GP.
The doctor who sees you may lodge a workers compensation claim on your behalf. If this doesn’t happen, head to the WorkSafe website and lodge an online application for WorkCover claims.
After obtaining your Workers’ Compensation Medical Certificate and lodging your application for a WorkCover claim, WorkCover will send copies of these to your employer.
