Workers Comp in Collaroy — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Seawall and property restoration work along the beachfront keeps civil and marine crews at Collaroy busy, and the shops and care facilities behind it employ plenty more. A work injury in any of them has to be examined by a doctor, who then completes the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors do that, and physiotherapy or psychology treatment afterwards is covered once the insurer accepts your claim.

Workers Comp in Collaroy — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CollaroyGet 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 Collaroy
Workers comp claims in Collaroy most often come from the local construction and marine workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Collaroy's beachfront has been the scene of major coastal protection works since the 2016 storms, and that seawall and property-restoration program continues to generate civil and marine construction work. The Pittwater Road retail strip and the aged-care facilities along the escarpment round out a varied local worker base.
