Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The Devils Wilderness north-of-Bilpin forestry, agriculture and bushland-property trade workers, all hit the same first hurdle when it comes to lodging a workers comp claim.

Book a doctor in The Devils WildernessGet 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
