Workers Comp in Annandale — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Annandale work runs from lecture rooms and home offices through to Parramatta Road kitchens and the road works nearby. Any injury from that mix needs the same first step, a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors provide both, and our psychologists see workers whose injury has affected sleep or confidence at work. Psychological injury is claimable in NSW, so it belongs on the certificate too.

Workers Comp in Annandale — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in AnnandaleGet 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 Annandale
Workers comp claims in Annandale most often come from the local education and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Annandale sits between the University of Sydney and Leichhardt's commercial strip, and its workforce reflects that — academic staff, independent schools, and a steady roll of small consultancies run out of converted terraces. Parramatta Road hospitality venues and the ongoing WestConnex surface works add trade and kitchen roles to the mix.
