Workers Comp in Chatsbury — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
When a Chatsbury wool classer pulls something mid-shed or a rural contractor twists an ankle stepping off a tractor step, the first step through workers comp opens with a GP visit. A clinician familiar with claims paperwork writes the kind of note that doesn't need a second pass from the insurer. With that in hand, weekly cover, physio and any specialist follow-ups slot in cleanly.

Workers Comp in Chatsbury — 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 ChatsburyGet 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.
