Workers Comp in Gunning — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A back injury that happens on the Hume still belongs to the employer you were driving for, and the claim runs the same way. The appointment comes first, and the Certificate of Capacity from it goes to your employer. That is what lets the insurer accept the claim and start covering treatment. Our physios work with Gunning drivers, kitchen staff and property workers on the injuries that follow.

Workers Comp in Gunning — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For HGV driver back injuries, forklift incidents, or loading-dock crush trauma, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in GunningGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Gunning
Workers comp claims in Gunning most often come from the local transport and agriculture workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Gunning sits on the Hume between Yass and Goulburn, with working residents split between long-haul transport, grazing properties along the surrounding ridges, hospitality at the highway service strip, and small-trade contractors building rural sheds and homes. Workers compensation claims from Gunning frequently involve highway-driving back injuries, livestock-handling sprains, kitchen burns and slips in hospitality, and overuse damage from fencing and stock work.
