Workers Comp in Milsons Passage — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
If oyster lease work, a pontoon slip or a rigging injury has stopped you, the claim starts with a medical assessment. We book you in with a WorkCover doctor, who completes the Certificate of Capacity the insurer needs before it can open the file. We book the renewals too. Treatment is covered under an accepted claim, and we line up physio for wrist, shoulder and lower-back recovery.

Workers Comp in Milsons Passage — 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 Milsons PassageGet 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 Milsons Passage
Workers comp claims in Milsons Passage most often come from the local aquaculture and marine services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Milsons Passage is one of the river-only-access pockets on the Hawkesbury, with residents mostly working in oyster leases, marine services and the small tourism trade running along the river. WorkCover claims here lean toward oyster-grower wrist and shoulder injuries, slip incidents on wet pontoons, propeller and rigging lacerations, plus the back damage that follows decades of pot-hauling, with most assessments needing a water transfer.
