Workers Comp in Fiddletown — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Stable work, fencing and land clearing around Fiddletown do damage in both directions, either in one bad moment with a horse or slowly across decades. The insurer needs a doctor's Certificate of Capacity either way before treatment is approved. Our doctors write it after examining you, and our physios work on the back and shoulder problems that usually sit underneath.

Workers Comp in Fiddletown — 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 FiddletownGet 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.
