Workers Comp in Theresa Park — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

An injury in a market garden or a kick in the stables gets treated and documented at the same appointment. At that visit the injury is assessed, the mechanism recorded and your Certificate of Capacity issued. Your employer sends that to the insurer, and treatment starts once liability is accepted. Our physios manage the carpentry and bricklaying strain we see from the Theresa Park estate work, and our doctors also assess fatigue-related injuries off Werombi Road.

Workers Comp in Theresa Park — 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 Theresa Park

Get 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.
