Workers Comp in Thirlmere — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Some Thirlmere claims come from one fall off a trailer, others from decades of fencing and earthworks. In each case a doctor has to examine you and write a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer can approve treatment. We book a WorkCover doctor for rail-maintenance and rural injuries alike, who keeps that certificate current. We then line up physio, paid for by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Thirlmere — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in ThirlmereGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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.
