Workers Comp in Clovelly — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Manual handling on nursing and aged-care shifts is a common cause of Clovelly claims, with cafe floor slips and renovation trade injuries alongside it. Whatever the cause, a doctor needs to see you and complete a Certificate of Capacity before the claim goes anywhere. Our doctors take care of that step, and an accepted claim then covers your physio and psychology sessions here.

Workers Comp in Clovelly — 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 ClovellyGet 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 Clovelly
Workers comp claims in Clovelly most often come from the local healthcare and hospitality workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Clovelly's coastal pocket houses a mix of healthcare workers heading to Prince of Wales and Randwick Hospital, hospitality staff at the Clovelly and Coogee venues, and tradies servicing Eastern Suburbs renovations. Manual-handling back and shoulder injuries from nursing and aged-care shifts drive most workers compensation claims locally, with surf-related slip injuries from beachside cafe floors adding a steady second tier. Office commuters round out the workforce.
