Workers Comp in Greenwich Park — Where to Start

Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.

A Greenwich Park farmer who pulled something fencing on a steep slope, or a tradie hurt on a Goulburn build, both run into the same opening question. The answer is a first medical visit with a doctor who knows the workers comp process well enough to write the Certificate of Capacity correctly the first time. From there, wages, physio and any further reports follow without chasing.

Workers Comp in Greenwich Park — 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 Greenwich Park

Get 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.
