Workers Comp in Carrick — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Livestock work on steep paddocks, felling jobs and the hospital shifts people drive into Goulburn for all produce injuries that get pushed through. The examination and the Certificate of Capacity that follows it are what open a claim, so start there. Our doctors handle that, and our physios treat the lower-back and shoulder overuse that stock work and ward shifts leave behind, with the insurer funding treatment under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Carrick — 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 WorkCover doctor in CarrickGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Carrick
Workers comp claims in Carrick most often come from the local agriculture and forestry workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Carrick lies north of Goulburn off the Tarlo road past Towrang, with locals split between graziers on the surrounding properties, small-scale forestry-adjacent contractors, and residents commuting into Goulburn for hospital and trade work. Workers compensation claims from Carrick frequently involve sprains from livestock work on steep paddocks, chainsaw and felling-related injuries, and overuse pain in the lower back and shoulders that follows long shifts in Goulburn Base Hospital wards.
