Workers Comp in Lerida — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Sheep and mixed-cropping properties, rural contracting and transport along the Hume corridor make up working life around Lerida. Seeing a doctor is the first move after a work injury, and the Certificate of Capacity from that visit records your capacity for work. Our doctors keep it updated through the season. Our physios then work through the recovery, with an accepted claim covering the sessions.

Workers Comp in Lerida — 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 LeridaGet 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.
