Workers Comp in Galston — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Galston workers split between acreage jobs and the commute, so claims here range from horse kicks and fencing injuries to the neck and wrist strain of a long week at a desk. All of them run on the same document, and a doctor has to examine you to write it. Our doctors issue the Certificate of Capacity, and the treatment that follows is with our physios while the insurer works through the claim.

Workers Comp in Galston — 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 GalstonGet 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.

Galston's rural-residential blocks line the road between Glenorie and the Hornsby commercial centre, with residents working across small equine and citrus properties, the trade-services running through Middle Dural and Round Corner, plus a steady professional commute to North Sydney. Workers compensation files at Galston cover horse-handling kick and crush trauma, harvest-line lumbar strain, chainsaw lacerations from fencing rounds, plus ergonomic RSI from desk-bound commuters.
