Workers Comp in Jerrong — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Farm and forestry injuries around Jerrong often get treated at home first, and the claim gets started weeks later. Lodging it properly means seeing a doctor for an examination and a Certificate of Capacity that records the injury and your capacity for work. Our doctors write that certificate. When the insurer accepts the claim, the treatment our physios provide is covered.

Workers Comp in Jerrong — 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 JerrongGet 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.
