Workers Comp in Wentworth Falls — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Guesthouse housekeeping, cafe shifts and local trade work cause most Wentworth Falls claims. Burns and back strain both need a doctor's examination before the insurer will fund any treatment. That examination happens with our doctors, who also write the certificate. Our physios and the rest of our allied health team treat the injury on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Wentworth Falls — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Wentworth FallsGet 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.
