Workers Comp in Camden Park — Where to Start

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

Equine workers at Camden Park's stud properties, or restoration tradies on the heritage Macarthur estate, run into the same workers compensation procedure. It begins with one Certificate of Capacity issued by a GP who reads the job description in detail before lodging anything with the WorkCover insurer. From there the file behaves like a process rather than a maze of paperwork.

The first 3 steps

Workers Comp in Camden Park — 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 Camden Park

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.
