Workers Comp in Forest Glen — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Picking and pruning wear out shoulders, and ladders and chainsaws cause the sudden injuries on the acreage around Forest Glen. Livestock work adds crush and kick injuries to that list. Getting to a doctor starts the claim and produces the Certificate of Capacity, and our physios treat the injury under an accepted claim while our doctors keep the certificates current.

Workers Comp in Forest Glen — 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 Forest GlenGet 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.
