Workers Comp in Parkesbourne — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Long hours on a quad or behind the wheel on back roads leave a lot of Parkesbourne workers with lumbar pain they have stopped noticing. It is still an injury, and putting it on a Certificate of Capacity takes a visit to a doctor. Reviews of that certificate come from our doctors as you improve, and our physios work on the back and shoulder while the claim stands.

Workers Comp in Parkesbourne — 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 ParkesbourneGet 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.
