Workers Comp in Croydon — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The Parramatta Road strip through Croydon is full of small trade businesses and shops where injury is part of the risk. After one, book in with a doctor, who examines you and writes the Certificate of Capacity your claim needs. Our doctors handle that and the reporting to the insurer, and our physios treat the hand, back and shoulder injuries that keep tradies and shop staff off work.

Workers Comp in Croydon — 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 CroydonGet 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 Croydon
Workers comp claims in Croydon most often come from the local retail and automotive workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Croydon workers are concentrated along the Parramatta Road retail and trade strip, with professional services commuters making up another sizeable chunk via the Croydon train station. Workers compensation claims here often involve panel-beater hand injuries, retail staff lifting strains, and the trade injuries from the steady inner-west renovation work. A pocket of Italian-Australian small business families also runs trades passed down through generations.
