Workers Comp in Burragorang Valley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Steep, remote country makes cattle work, forestry and access-track maintenance harder than the same jobs anywhere else. Crush injuries, chainsaw lacerations and falls from height are the claims that come out of Burragorang Valley. The claim itself begins with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our physios treat the back, shoulder and knee strain from that work, and our doctors report to the insurer as needed.

Workers Comp in Burragorang Valley — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor

Book a WorkCover doctor in Burragorang ValleyGet 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.
