Workers Comp in Cronulla — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Cronulla's hospitality trade peaks over summer, while the Kurnell industrial sites and the Miranda retail centres run all year. Injured at work in any of them, you will need a Certificate of Capacity, and our doctors write that at your first appointment. Treatment afterwards with our physios or psychologists is paid for by the insurer under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Cronulla — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in CronullaGet 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.
