Workers Comp in Pheasants Nest — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Heavy-plant seats, quarry floors and freight-rail earthworks put a lot of load through the knees and lower back. Workers hurt on those jobs near Pheasants Nest should be examined by a doctor early, because the Certificate of Capacity is what gets the claim moving and puts limits on your duties. Our physios manage the knee and back rehabilitation once the claim is accepted, and our doctors write the certificate that gets it funded.

Workers Comp in Pheasants Nest — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Pheasants NestGet 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.
