Workers Comp in Wagga Wagga — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Wagga Wagga work spans farm blocks, freight runs and hospital wards. Wherever you were hurt, the first medical appointment is what puts a claim on foot, because that is where the Certificate of Capacity is written. Our doctors handle it and follow up with the reports the insurer requests. Our physios and psychologists take over once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Wagga Wagga — 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 Wagga WaggaGet 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.
