Workers Comp in Arcadia — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Arcadia work splits between acreage jobs and a long commute to Macquarie Park or the city. Claims here run from livestock and fencing injuries to desk-based neck and wrist problems. Either way, the insurer works from a Certificate of Capacity, which means seeing a doctor comes first. Our physios treat the injury and our doctors keep the paperwork moving, with an accepted claim covering what the treatment costs.

Workers Comp in Arcadia — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ArcadiaGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Arcadia

Arcadia is a rural-residential pocket in the Hornsby acreage belt, with locals working in horticulture, equine, the trades servicing the surrounding acreage and the senior professional services and healthcare commuters heading into Macquarie Park, Hornsby or the CBD. Workers compensation claims out of Arcadia often involve livestock and horse-related crush injuries, back and shoulder strain from fencing and stockwork, plus desk-based neck and wrist complaints.
