Workers Comp in Golspie — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Stock work injuries around Golspie are often patched up on the property and reported later, which makes the claim harder to run. A Certificate of Capacity from your first medical appointment is where it properly starts, so book in before you find out whether the back settles on its own. Once the insurer accepts, physiotherapy and imaging are covered, and our doctors handle the certificate reviews as things change.

Workers Comp in Golspie — 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 GolspieGet 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.
