Workers Comp in Curraweela — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Chainsaw work and long days on horses and quads make up much of working life out of Curraweela. An injury from any of it starts a process built around the Certificate of Capacity, which a doctor writes after examining you and updates as you improve. Our doctors handle both parts, and our physios treat the damage that years of this work do to your back and joints.

Workers Comp in Curraweela — 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 CurraweelaGet 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 Curraweela
Workers comp claims in Curraweela most often come from the local agriculture and forestry workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Curraweela is a remote farming locality far to the north-east of Goulburn near the Wombeyan Caves country, drawing its small workforce from grazing operations, a handful of forestry-adjacent contractors, and the long commute into Goulburn or Mittagong for service roles. Workers compensation matters from Curraweela commonly involve chainsaw and felling injuries, falls on rocky country, and lower-back complaints from long days on horses and quads.
