Workers Comp in Sackville North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A serious rollover or a chainsaw cut on an orchard block gets treated first, but the claim still needs a doctor's appointment behind it. That visit produces the Certificate of Capacity, which your employer sends to the insurer to start things off. Our doctors handle those certificates for orchard and acreage workers around Sackville North, and our physios take on the back and shoulder damage that builds up over years of this work.

Workers Comp in Sackville North — 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 Sackville NorthGet 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.
