Workers Comp in Lower Boro — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Grazing properties, rural haulage and the industrial and rail operations around Tarago give Lower Boro its working mix. A doctor has to see you and complete the Certificate of Capacity for a claim to advance. Our doctors set out in that certificate what work you can safely take on. Our physios then rebuild strength in the injured area, with the claim covering the sessions.

Workers Comp in Lower Boro — 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 Lower BoroGet 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 Lower Boro
Workers comp claims in Lower Boro most often come from the local agriculture and transport workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Lower Boro sits in the country south-east of Goulburn between Tarago and Mayfield, where local working life draws on graziers, rural transport drivers, and the mine and rail operations cohort around Tarago. Workers compensation claims from Lower Boro frequently involve lifting and crush injuries from industrial work, livestock-related sprains, and the cumulative back strain that follows long stretches on quads and behind the wheel on rural haulage runs.
