Workers Comp in Goulburn North — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Shelf stacking, warehouse shifts and light-industrial work north of the Goulburn city centre all carry the same kinds of lifting and pinch injuries. If you have picked one up, the first step is a doctor's appointment that produces a Certificate of Capacity for your employer and the insurer. Our physios then work on the shoulder, back and hand injuries that come with repetitive lifting, with treatment covered under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Goulburn North — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover 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.
