Workers Comp in Berowra Heights — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Whether you are a nurse at Hornsby Hospital, on a shop floor, or a tradie working the steep blocks around Berowra Heights, the first step after a work injury does not change. A doctor assesses what you can still lift, carry and do, then records it on the Certificate of Capacity. Your employer works from that document. Our doctors and our physios carry the medical and rehabilitation side of it.

Workers Comp in Berowra Heights — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Berowra HeightsGet 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 Berowra Heights
Workers comp claims in Berowra Heights most often come from the local healthcare and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Berowra Heights sits above the Pacific Highway at the northern edge of Hornsby Shire, with the working population in retail, healthcare at Hornsby Hospital, professional services commuting south on the rail line and the construction trades servicing the surrounding bushland suburbs. Workers compensation files here cover ward-nurse manual transfers, retail standing-and-stocking complaints, plus the cliffside footing slips that catch tradies on the steep blocks.
