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

Kowmung's Kanangra-Boyd National Park remoteness means medical evacuation often takes hours.

Book a doctor in Kowmung
2

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.

3

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 Kowmung

Workers comp claims in Kowmung most often come from the local manufacturing and transport workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.

Kowmung is deep bushland country in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park with the rare resident or working population in parks-and-environment roles, small-scale outdoor education, and the bushfire-response workforce. Workers compensation claims around Kowmung are rare but typically involve parks staff back and ankle injuries, chainsaw cuts, and the strain claims of bushfire-response operations. The terrain and remoteness mean medical evacuation often takes hours, complicating any serious injury management significantly.
