Workers Comp in Dargan — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rail maintenance and forestry work west of the Blue Mountains crest happen in cold, remote conditions where an injury is hard to deal with on the spot. The claim is more straightforward. It needs a Certificate of Capacity, and we book you in with a doctor who writes one after assessing you. We then line up physio for the back and shoulder damage bushland work causes, funded on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Dargan — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in DarganGet 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.
