Workers Comp in Central Mangrove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Orchard and turf work on the plateau is relentless on backs and knees, and the trucks running down Mangrove Mountain Road bring their own injuries. A Central Mangrove claim starts the way every NSW claim does, with a medical examination and a Certificate of Capacity. We book the doctor for the assessment and certificates, and line up physio for the chronic back damage decades of orchard work causes, paid for while the claim stands accepted.

Workers Comp in Central Mangrove — 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 MangroveGet 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.
