Workers Comp in Mount Vernon — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Truck work along the M7 and forklift shifts in the logistics zone both load the lower back. When it goes, our doctors examine you and issue the certificate your employer needs. Quad-bike and tractor rollovers on the local acreage are recorded in the same way. With the claim accepted, our physios treat the back, knee and shoulder damage and the insurer covers it.

Workers Comp in Mount Vernon — 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 Mount VernonGet 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.
