Workers Comp in Myrtleville — Where to Start

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

The Certificate of Capacity is the document the insurer uses to decide what you can safely do at work, and only a doctor can write it. Ours write it at the first appointment and keep it current afterwards. Fencing and mustering across hilly country damages backs slowly, and that is as claimable as any sudden injury. Our physios then take on the hands-on treatment.

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.
