Workers Comp in Hawkesbury Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Land-clearing and property maintenance injuries often happen when nobody else is around, which makes the account you give the doctor important. Book the appointment, describe exactly how it happened, and take away the Certificate of Capacity. Make sure the incident is recorded in your employer's register as well. Our physios then treat the chainsaw wounds, fall injuries and long-running shoulder problems that come off work on this ridge.

Workers Comp in Hawkesbury Heights — 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 Hawkesbury HeightsGet 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.
