Workers Comp in Jibbon — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bushcare and boat maintenance around Jibbon put workers a long way from a clinic when something goes wrong. Once you are safe, the priority is a medical assessment, because the Certificate of Capacity from it is what starts the NSW claim and sets your restrictions. Our doctors can do that assessment by telehealth when travel is the problem, and our physios handle recovery under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Jibbon — 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 JibbonGet 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.
