Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Horse work and bushland-block maintenance around Duffys Forest cause the kind of injuries that keep you off the tools for months.

We line up physio for the carpentry and handling injuries this work leaves you with, covered once your claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Duffys Forest — 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 Duffys ForestGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Duffys Forest
Workers comp claims in Duffys Forest most often come from the local equine and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Duffys Forest is a sparsely populated bushland-acreage pocket along Mona Vale Road with residents working in equine industries, professional services from home, and the trades servicing the Terrey Hills builds. WorkCover claims here typically involve horse-handling injuries, chainsaw and ladder falls during bushland-block maintenance, and the carpentry and roofer strain claims from the small but steady local renovation activity. Bushfire-response crews also feature each summer.
