Workers Comp in The Oaks — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Quarry plant and cattle yards account for most of the serious injuries we see from The Oaks. Your employer has to be told what happened, and a doctor has to examine you before the insurer can act. Our doctors carry out that examination and issue the Certificate of Capacity, updating it while you are on restricted duties. Physiotherapy starts once the insurer has accepted liability, and our physios provide it.

Workers Comp in The Oaks — 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 The OaksGet 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 The Oaks
Workers comp claims in The Oaks most often come from the local agriculture and mining workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The Oaks sits in the rural belt west of Camden, with residents working equine and cattle blocks, sandstone quarries, and the trade-services circuit running through the wider Burragorang and Macarthur belt. WorkCover claims here often involve livestock kicks and crush injuries, quarry machinery rollovers, chainsaw lacerations from fuel-reduction work, plus the cumulative back damage cattle handlers and harvesters carry from long careers on the southern Macarthur edge.
