Workers Comp in Uloola — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Track maintenance, fencing and bushcare in the Royal National Park cause the falls and chainsaw injuries we treat from Uloola. Steep, timbered ground makes an accurate description of the mechanism important, so tell the doctor exactly what you were doing. That is also where your Certificate of Capacity is written. Our physios take the shoulder and back strain from there, with approved sessions covered.

Workers Comp in Uloola — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in UloolaGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Uloola

Uloola is a remote Royal National Park bush pocket inland from Audley, with the small working population in National Parks and Wildlife operations, bushcare and the trades servicing the surrounding off-grid properties. Workers compensation claims out of Uloola typically involve chainsaw lacerations, back and shoulder strain from track-maintenance and fencing work, and the falls and crush injuries that come with bushcare and rural maintenance on steep, heavily timbered terrain.
