Workers Comp in Baw Baw — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Baw Baw residents work across the Goulburn hospital and the Hume Highway freight runs, and the claims split between manual-handling strain and long-haul lower-back damage. Both are claimable, and both need a Certificate of Capacity written by a doctor. Our doctors cover the medical side and our physios treat the injury, which the insurer pays for once it accepts the claim.

Workers Comp in Baw Baw — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Baw BawGet 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.
