Workers Comp in Burraneer — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Boatsheds and slipways along the peninsula, desk-based professional work and waterfront renovations describe most Burraneer employment. Deck-handling strain, screen-related RSI and a slip off a roof are all claimable injuries in NSW. Each of them needs a Certificate of Capacity, which a doctor completes after examining you. Our physios treat the deck-handling and renovation injuries along with the screen-related strain, and our doctors complete that certificate.

Workers Comp in Burraneer — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a WorkCover doctor in BurraneerGet 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 Burraneer
Workers comp claims in Burraneer most often come from the local professional services and marine services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Burraneer hugs the Port Hacking inlet between Cronulla and Caringbah, with residents leaning toward professional services and small-business owners, plus a marine-services cluster working the boatsheds and slipways along the peninsula. Workers compensation files at Burraneer mix marine-fitter back and shoulder strain from boat-deck handling, ergonomic RSI from desk-bound commuters, and the ladder-and-roof footing slips that catch tradies on waterfront-block renovations.
