Workers Comp in Dubbo — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Saleyard work, hospital shifts and long-haul driving out of Dubbo produce a steady flow of back, shoulder and hand injuries. What matters first is the medical appointment, where the injury is examined and a Certificate of Capacity is written for your employer and the insurer. Our doctors handle the certificates that follow, and our physios and psychologists do the treatment an accepted claim pays for.

Workers Comp in Dubbo — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in DubboGet 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 Dubbo

Dubbo is the central-west's regional capital, with Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Dubbo Base Hospital, and a major road and rail freight hub driving the local economy.
