Workers Comp in Goarra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bushland maintenance injuries inside the Royal National Park often happen a long way from any clinic, which makes the paperwork side easy to put off. Get seen by a doctor, and make sure you leave with a Certificate of Capacity, since that document is what the insurer needs. The employer also needs a written record of the injury. Treatment for an accepted claim is covered, including the physiotherapy our clinic provides.

Workers Comp in Goarra — 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 GoarraGet 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.
