Workers Comp in Wombeyan Caves — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Telling your employer about an injury is the step people skip when the work is seasonal or the team is small, which describes a lot of jobs around Wombeyan Caves. Do that, and get a doctor to examine the injury and issue the Certificate of Capacity a claim runs on. The limits the injury puts on ranger and stock work go on that certificate. Our physios then build the rehabilitation around the lifting and walking the job involves.

Workers Comp in Wombeyan Caves — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Wombeyan CavesGet 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.
