Workers Comp in Bellevue Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Renovation work on the large Bellevue Hill properties means steep driveways and sandstone stairs, with materials carried up both. Falls on that ground are a common claim, and each one starts with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. The back and knee injuries that follow a fall are treated by our physios under the claim. Cleaners and gardeners on those properties are covered the same way.

Workers Comp in Bellevue Hill — 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 Bellevue HillGet 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 Bellevue Hill
Workers comp claims in Bellevue Hill most often come from the local construction and landscaping workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Bellevue Hill is dominated by large residential properties, private schools, and the ongoing renovation projects that come with them. Scaffolders, landscapers, painters, and cleaners make up a large portion of the daytime workforce, and trips and falls on steep driveways and sandstone stairs are a recurring theme in claims.
