Workers Comp in Edgecliff — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Corporate injuries rarely look dramatic, but a wrist, neck or lower back that has stopped tolerating a full day at Martin Place will still stop you working. The same goes for the kitchen and floor staff along New South Head Road. The process is identical for both, and our doctors can do the examination and the certificate before our physios take on the treatment.

Workers Comp in Edgecliff — 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 EdgecliffGet 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.
