Workers Comp in Blaxcell — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

Construction work around Blaxcell produces a steady trickle — a concretor with a back that locked after a kerb pour. It really turns on the first doctor's appointment — a workers comp-experienced clinician hands back a signed note and the file is open. After that, payments hit the bank account and physio bookings stop being a fight.

Book a doctor in Blaxcell

Get 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.
