Workers Comp in Ellis Lane — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Horse work and tractor work put people in with crush injuries and broken bones, while the carpenters on the new Cobbitty estates wear out shoulders and backs more slowly. Both belong in the same system, and both start with a doctor examining the injury and completing a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors do that for workers around Ellis Lane, and our physios keep the treatment going while the claim is open.

Workers Comp in Ellis Lane — 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 Ellis LaneGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Ellis Lane

Ellis Lane is acreage country between Camden and Cobbitty, with locals working in the equine industries, small-scale horticulture, and the trades building out the new Cobbitty estates.

The heritage barns and stables also draw specialist restoration crews.
