Workers Comp in Roslyn — Where to Start

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

Roslyn files usually start with one moment — a kick in the crush yards, a slip on a wet woolshed floor, or a wrenched back lifting feed. The opening move is identical in each case: a first appointment with a GP who writes workers compensation paperwork in volume. The clinical note from that visit becomes the anchor the insurer registers against the file.

Workers Comp in Roslyn — 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 doctor in Roslyn

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.

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.
