Workers Comp in Picton — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Horses, framing timber and long hauls up the Hume each carry their own injuries, and Picton workers see plenty of all three. Whatever caused it, a doctor needs to examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity before the claim can go anywhere. Our doctors do that examination, and our physios treat the strains and joint damage that come out of yard work and building sites once the insurer accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Picton — 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 PictonGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Picton

Picton anchors the southern Macarthur villages, with locals working across the small retail strip, agriculture and equine industries in the surrounding valleys, and the trades servicing the Tahmoor and Wilton builds. Workers compensation claims around Picton lean toward horse-handling injuries, carpenter and bricklayer strains on new estates, and the truck-driver claims that come with the Hume Highway corridor. The historic main street also draws restoration tradies.
