Workers Comp in Goulburn North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
For a Goulburn North storeperson with a wrenched lower back or a hospital cleaner with a shoulder gone in a transfer, the first move opens at one specific desk — a GP who handles workers compensation paperwork as part of the daily routine. Their initial assessment becomes the clinical record the insurer registers. Weekly cover and treatment approvals tend to land within days.

Workers Comp in Goulburn North — 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 Goulburn NorthGet 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.
