Workers Comp in Eastwood — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Restaurant kitchens along Rowe Street produce burns, cuts and slips, and the retail and allied-health shifts nearby leave people with worn backs and sore feet. A Certificate of Capacity from a doctor is what turns a workplace injury into a claim the insurer can act on. Our doctors know the wording insurers look for, and our physios pick up the hand, wrist or back work afterwards.

Workers Comp in Eastwood — 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 EastwoodGet 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 Eastwood
Workers comp claims in Eastwood most often come from the local hospitality and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Eastwood's commercial strip along Rowe Street draws a large Asian-Australian small-business community working hospitality, retail and allied health, alongside residents commuting to Macquarie Park and Sydney CBD. Workers compensation matters in Eastwood typically involve burn, slip and laceration injuries from the busy restaurant trade along the strip, repetitive-strain wrist injuries from food-preparation work, plus the standing and back claims common to retail and allied-health staff working long shifts.
