Workers Comp in Hinchinbrook — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Truck and warehouse injuries along the Cowpasture Road corridor often get reported late because the run had to finish first. The claim needs a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity, and doing it early keeps the claim straightforward. Your employer should have a record of it too. Our doctors and physios look after Hinchinbrook drivers, storepeople and tradespeople once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Hinchinbrook — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in HinchinbrookGet 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.
