Workers Comp in Tahmoor — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Underground mining puts pressure on backs, shoulders and knees, and dust and noise exposure builds over a career on top of that. A claim for either kind still starts with a doctor examining you and completing the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors are used to the injury patterns that come off the colliery and the Wilton and Picton civil jobs. Our physios and psychologists then take on the recovery side under the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Tahmoor — 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 TahmoorGet 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.
