Workers Comp in Wollemi — Where to Start

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

Bush work around Wollemi is done a long way from help, so injuries are often managed on site and never written up. That gap causes trouble later, because a NSW claim rests on medical records. See a doctor and take away a Certificate of Capacity that records what happened. Our doctors and physios then carry the treatment side, and the insurer pays for it.

2

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.

3

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 Wollemi

Wollemi sits at the edge of the Wollemi National Park, deep in rugged sandstone country with limited road access. Locals here are mostly involved in forestry, small-scale agriculture, park maintenance and the occasional construction job on isolated properties. WorkCover claims around Wollemi tend to involve chainsaw injuries, snake bites, vehicle rollovers on rough access tracks and the back damage that comes with manual bush work over many years.
