Workers Comp in Como — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Como residents work at desks in the city and on boats along the Georges River, and both send people to us with work injuries. Neither claim gets far without a Certificate of Capacity, written at a medical appointment. Our doctors write it, our physios do the hands-on treatment, and the cost sits with the insurer from the point your claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Como — 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 ComoGet 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 Como
Workers comp claims in Como most often come from the local professional services and marine workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Como sits on the Georges River north of Oyster Bay on the Cronulla rail line, with locals working across professional services in the CBD and Hurstville, marine trades along the river and the construction crews servicing the surrounding waterfront homes. Workers compensation claims out of Como typically involve neck, wrist and lower-back strain from long desk hours, paired with back, shoulder and laceration injuries from boat-handling and renovation work along the foreshore.
