Workers Comp in Cheltenham — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Teaching and desk-based work cause real injuries: voice strain, lumbar pain and the wrist and neck RSI that comes with long screen hours. All of them turn up in Cheltenham claims. Our doctors will see you, assess how the work caused it and issue the Certificate of Capacity. Sessions with our physios and psychologists are billed to the insurer under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Cheltenham — 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 CheltenhamGet 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 Cheltenham
Workers comp claims in Cheltenham most often come from the local professional services and education workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Cheltenham sits along the rail line between Beecroft and Epping, with residents leaning toward professional services and education, mostly commuting to North Sydney, Macquarie Park or working at the surrounding Cheltenham, Beecroft and Epping school campuses. Workers compensation files at Cheltenham cover cervical-spine and wrist RSI from extended screen time, teacher voice-strain and lumbar complaints, plus platform-and-stair slips on the long daily commute.
