Workers Comp in Lower Mangrove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most people working around Lower Mangrove are out on the water, on a farm block or on a hillside building job. See a doctor before anything else, because the insurer needs the Certificate of Capacity that comes out of that visit. Our doctors also handle the review appointments as the injury settles. Our physios provide the treatment, with the insurer picking up the cost of an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Lower Mangrove — 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 Lower MangroveGet 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.
