Workers Comp in Wisemans Ferry — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Running the ferry crossing or working the orchards around Wisemans Ferry puts you a long way from most medical services, and injuries here get reported late as a result. A NSW claim still needs the same starting point, an examination by a doctor and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it up around the physical demands of river and farm work. Our physios handle what comes after, and the insurer is billed for it.

Workers Comp in Wisemans Ferry — 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 Wisemans FerryGet 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.
