Workers Comp in Avon — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Rural work around Avon involves machinery and unsealed roads, so the injuries tend to be serious when they happen. Get to a doctor and make sure a Certificate of Capacity is issued, because that document starts the NSW claim. Our doctors handle it and our physios treat the back and shoulder damage that fencing and earthworks leave behind. You will not be billed for that treatment while the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Avon — 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 AvonGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Avon

Avon sits up on the rural fringe between the Southern Highlands and Macarthur, with most locals working trades, transport along the Hume Highway or small-scale agriculture. Workers compensation matters around Avon often involve quad-bike incidents, chainsaw injuries during land clearing, vehicle rollovers on unsealed back roads and the chronic back and shoulder problems that follow long careers in fencing, earthworks and rural maintenance.
