NSW injured at work: what should I do first?
Tell your employer as soon as possible, seek medical treatment and ask your doctor for a Certificate of Capacity. NSW SIRA says the employer must notify its insurer within 48 hours of becoming aware of the injury. If the employer will not identify the insurer, the worker can contact the Independent Review Office. Official source: SIRA. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/au/topics/workers-compensation
