Workers Comp in Dulwich Hill — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Burns and lifting strains come with the cafe and bakery work along New Canterbury Road, and the schools and light-manufacturing jobs nearby carry their own risks. Whatever caused it, a doctor has to examine the injury and write your Certificate of Capacity, since that is the document your insurer works from. Our doctors do that assessment, and our physios take on the rehab once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Dulwich Hill — 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 Dulwich HillGet 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 Dulwich Hill
Workers comp claims in Dulwich Hill most often come from the local hospitality and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Dulwich Hill's New Canterbury Road village strip and the inner-west light rail terminus have pushed the suburb from quiet residential into a proper cafe-and-bakery destination. Small independent schools and the nearby Marrickville industrial fringe give the workforce a secondary base in education and light manufacturing.
