Workers Comp in The Slopes — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The Certificate of Capacity drives a NSW claim, and only a doctor can issue one. For workers around The Slopes hurt on a ladder or in a rollover on the unsealed roads, that appointment is where the claim starts. Our doctors write the certificate and review it as your capacity changes. Our physios treat the chronic back damage that comes with earthworks and rural property work, covered by the insurer once liability is accepted.

Workers Comp in The Slopes — 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 SlopesGet 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.
