Workers Comp in Six Mile Flat — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Commuting into Goulburn for a hospital, corrections or retail shift means your injury happens in one place and your recovery happens in another. The claim does not care about that, but it does need a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor before the insurer will pay for anything. Our doctors write that certificate and review it as your duties change. Our physios and psychologists treat the manual-handling and shoulder injuries these shifts produce.

Workers Comp in Six Mile Flat — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Six Mile FlatGet 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.
