Workers Comp in Freemans Reach — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rollovers, stock kicks and harvest lifting are the usual reasons Freemans Reach workers need a claim, and the river flats do not make the work any gentler. Nothing is approved until a doctor examines the injury and issues the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors do it, and the lumbar and shoulder damage the harvest cycle keeps aggravating is what our physios treat.

Workers Comp in Freemans Reach — 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 Freemans ReachGet 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.
