Workers Comp in Camperdown — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital and university work in Camperdown carries risks that get downplayed, including needlestick exposures, patient-handling strain and lab incidents. Any of them can be reported and claimed. Our doctors examine you, write the Certificate of Capacity and manage the medical side from there, while our psychologists handle the stress and trauma that clinical work can cause. Treatment is funded under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Camperdown — 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 CamperdownGet 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 Camperdown

Camperdown is dominated by Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the main University of Sydney campus, together forming one of the state's biggest single-precinct clinical and research workforces.
