Workers Comp in Audley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Once you are off the track, see a doctor and get the Certificate of Capacity that starts your claim. Our physios take on the back and shoulder damage that outdoor maintenance work builds up, with our doctors handling the medical reports. Write down what happened while it is fresh, including who saw it.

Workers Comp in Audley — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in AudleyGet 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.
