Workers Comp in Canoelands — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Orchard and acreage work in Canoelands is physically punishing, and ladder falls, chainsaw cuts and worn-out shoulders are the usual results. If you are employed on one of those properties, a work injury goes through the NSW scheme, starting with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. We book the doctor for that, and line up physio for the shoulder, elbow and back damage picking and pruning cause.

Workers Comp in Canoelands — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For machinery, livestock, or chemical exposure incidents on-site, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CanoelandsGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
