Workers Comp in Mount Tomah — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Getting a medical examination is the first move, and telling your employer goes with it. The Certificate of Capacity that comes out of that examination is what lets the insurer open a claim, and our doctors write it. Pruning, harvesting and ladder work above the Bilpin orchard belt cause shoulder and back injuries that need proper documenting. Garden and cafe staff with burns or lifting injuries are entitled to the same cover, and our physios treat them.

Workers Comp in Mount Tomah — 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 Mount TomahGet 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.
