Workers Comp in The Devils Wilderness — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
If you were hurt clearing land or working a fence line out past Bilpin, the drive to a clinic does not change how the claim runs. Emergency care comes first, and the assessment that produces your Certificate of Capacity can follow at the next appointment. The detail an insurer looks for goes into that certificate. Rehabilitation with our physios is covered from the day the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in The Devils Wilderness — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in The Devils WildernessGet 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.
