Workers Comp in Matcham — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Horse work, clearing and rural property maintenance around Matcham cause injuries that often build over years rather than in a single moment. The claim still needs a doctor to examine you and put the injury and your capacity in writing. The doctor completes the Certificate of Capacity and reviews it as you recover. The physio we line up is covered once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in Matcham — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor

Book a WorkCover doctor in MatchamGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
Common workers comp claims in Matcham

Matcham's bushland blocks and horse properties give the suburb its character, with locals running small farms, working construction across the Erina-Terrigal corridor or commuting into Gosford for retail and professional services. Workers compensation matters around Matcham frequently involve horse-related injuries, falls from utility vehicles, chainsaw cuts during clearing work, and the cumulative back damage that comes with a decade of rural property maintenance.
