Workers Comp in Chiswick — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Boat-yard fitters, renovation tradies, cafe staff and desk-bound commuters all live in Chiswick, and all of them file claims. What they share is the first step: a doctor's assessment, and a Certificate of Capacity stating what you can do. Our doctors write it and update it as you recover. Our physios treat the neck, wrist and back injuries, and the insurer pays for those sessions.

Workers Comp in Chiswick — 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 ChiswickGet 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 Chiswick
Workers comp claims in Chiswick most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Chiswick residents largely commute to Sydney for professional-services and finance jobs, but a small pocket works in the marine-services industry along Hen and Chicken Bay. Workers compensation claims here lean toward office-based neck and wrist issues, but boat-yard fitters and the constant residential renovation activity around the older Federation stock add a steady stream of tradie injuries. Local cafe staff also file the usual hospitality claims.
