Workers Comp in Blakney Creek — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Sheep and cattle stations around Blakney Creek keep people in the yards, on the fences and out on quads for long days. Sprains, shoulder damage and joint strain from that work are claimable, and the process begins with a medical appointment. Our doctors examine you, write the Certificate of Capacity and send the insurer what it needs. Treatment with our physios is covered once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Blakney Creek — 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 Blakney CreekGet 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.
