Workers Comp in Burragorang Valley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
When a claim from Burragorang Valley lands, it usually starts with a bricklayer with chronic elbow tendinopathy from years of heavy mortar. It always begins the same way: the doctor's note from that first visit. Without that paper trail, the wage replacement clock simply does not start. A WorkCover-experienced GP makes the rest of the paperwork far simpler.

Workers Comp in Burragorang Valley — 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 Burragorang ValleyGet 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.
