Workers Comp in CobbittyWhere to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

A fall from a horse or a strain on a fencing job can put you off work for weeks. The document your claim depends on, the Certificate of Capacity, comes from a doctor who has examined you and knows what your duties are. Our doctors write and review it, while our physios work on the joint and soft-tissue damage that farm and site work leaves behind.

2

Get 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.

3

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.
