Workers Comp in Mount Rae — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Shearing seasons stack shoulder strain on top of whatever the yards have already done. Cumulative injuries of that kind are claimable, provided a doctor has examined you and written the certificate. Our doctors handle the examination and the certificate renewals through the season. Rehabilitation with our physios is part of what an accepted claim pays for, including after crush and slip injuries in the yards.

Workers Comp in Mount Rae — 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 Mount RaeGet 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 Mount Rae

Mount Rae sits north of Goulburn near McAlister and Chatsbury, where most working life happens on sheep and cattle stations, with a smaller cohort in rural contracting and several commuters heading into Goulburn for service and trade roles. Workers compensation claims from Mount Rae typically cover crush injuries during yard work, slip events on uneven paddock ground, and the cumulative shoulder strain that builds across shearing, fencing and stockwork seasons.
