Workers Comp in Kanangra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ranger and forestry work south of Jenolan happens on unsealed roads and wet tracks, where a rollover or a fall can leave you hours from town. Whatever the injury, a doctor has to examine you and issue a Certificate of Capacity for the claim to move. Our doctors handle these assessments and keep the certificate updated while you are off work. Treatment costs move to the insurer as soon as the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Kanangra — 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 KanangraGet 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.
