Workers Comp in Brisbane Grove — Where to Start

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

A nursing assistant on a long ward shift in Goulburn or a Brisbane Grove labourer hurt unloading at a depot both face the same first decision. Getting a workers compensation-savvy GP into the file early means the Certificate of Capacity that follows is one the insurer can act on immediately. From that opening assessment, the claim moves from open question to active treatment plan.

Workers Comp in Brisbane Grove — 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 doctor in Brisbane Grove

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.
