Workers Comp in Douglas Park — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Truck work on the Hume, building on the rural fringe and stock work on the surrounding properties account for most Douglas Park injuries. A claim will not progress without a Certificate of Capacity, which comes from a doctor who has examined you. Our doctors provide it and manage the reviews, and our physios treat the knee and back damage that years of this work build up.

Workers Comp in Douglas Park — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Douglas ParkGet 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.
