Workers Comp in Freemans Reach — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Freemans Reach claims come from a maintenance fitter on a plant shutdown dealing with a back injury from awkward access or a chemical splash. The first doctor's appointment is the lynchpin; in workers comp, every later step branches off whatever is written that day. Things then sit in sequence: payments, treatment, scans, and a structured return to work.

Workers Comp in Freemans Reach — 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 Freemans ReachGet 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.
