Workers Comp in Kurrajong Hills — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Wrist and shoulder injuries from picking and packing seasons rarely start with one bad moment, and Kurrajong Hills workers often keep going until the grip fails. Nothing happens on the claim until the injury is examined and a Certificate of Capacity is written. Our doctors do that and describe the repetitive work that caused it. Once accepted, the claim covers the physio treatment you need.

Workers Comp in Kurrajong Hills — 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 Kurrajong HillsGet 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.
