Workers Comp in Central Macdonald — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Running stock and a horse property alongside a paid job wears out shoulders and backs over decades, and a tractor or quad-bike incident can end a working year outright. Both are claimable when the injury happened in the course of your employment. Our doctors will examine you and write the Certificate of Capacity the insurer needs before it can assess liability, and our physios handle the rehab.

Workers Comp in Central Macdonald — 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 Central MacdonaldGet 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.
