Workers Comp in Richmond Lowlands — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Flood cleanup brings a spike of injuries to the Richmond Lowlands, on top of the turf machinery incidents and picker strain that come with an ordinary season. Casual and seasonal workers are covered by the scheme the same way permanent staff are. Our doctors examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity. The back, hand and shoulder injuries this work produces are then treated by our physios under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Richmond Lowlands — 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 Richmond LowlandsGet 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 Richmond Lowlands

Richmond Lowlands sits on the Hawkesbury floodplain just north of Richmond with residents working in turf farming, small-scale market gardens, and the trades servicing the Richmond and North Richmond renovation work.
