Workers Comp in Peats Ridge — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Packing-shed lifting and long days in the orchard rows around Peats Ridge grind down shoulders and knees over a career. A claim covers that kind of gradual damage, but only once a doctor has examined you and written a Certificate of Capacity. That assessment is done by our doctors, and the accepted claim pays for the joint work our physios do afterwards.

Workers Comp in Peats Ridge — 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 Peats RidgeGet 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.
