Workers Comp in Central Mangrove — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Central Mangrove claims start with an orchard worker after a chainsaw slip, a turf-farm labourer with a tractor-handling sprain, or a haulage driver who has finally pulled over with shoulder trouble. The first stop, no matter the trade, is a doctor who knows the plateau workers compensation pattern. That appointment is what triggers wages, physio and a workable harvest-season recovery plan.

Workers Comp in Central Mangrove — 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 Central MangroveGet 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.
