Workers Comp in Lake George — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Turbine work means height, and a fall or a strain up there is a serious matter to get documented properly. Add the grazing and the highway driving through Lake George and you get a claim mix of falls, sprains and long-term back damage. Each of those runs through the same medical examination and Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write those certificates, and our physios rebuild what the fall or the driving damaged, paid through the claim.

Workers Comp in Lake George — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Lake GeorgeGet 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.
