Workers Comp in Bow Bowing — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Bow Bowing workers compensation cases often track back to a sheet metal worker on a fabrication floor carrying deep lacerations or hearing damage from years on noisy machinery. It only takes one Certificate of Capacity from a WorkCover-fluent doctor to convert a stressful situation into an active claim with a real timeline. From there the worker can think about getting better instead of getting paperwork in order.

Workers Comp in Bow Bowing — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a doctor in Bow BowingGet 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.
