Workers Comp in Breadalbane — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Highway driving, sheep and cattle work and small rural building jobs are the main sources of injury around Breadalbane. Back damage from long hauls and rotator-cuff problems from fencing and yard repairs both qualify for a claim. The Certificate of Capacity a doctor writes at the first visit sets out the work you can still do. Our physios treat the injury, and our doctors keep that certificate matched to what you can manage.

Workers Comp in Breadalbane — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in BreadalbaneGet 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.
