Workers Comp in Elizabeth Bay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen and bar work around Potts Point, renovation trades in the Art Deco blocks and hospital shifts nearby sit behind most claims out of Elizabeth Bay. Psychological injury counts as well, and it goes through the same process as a cut hand. See a doctor for the Certificate of Capacity before anything else, then our physios or psychologists take the treatment side under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Elizabeth Bay — 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 Elizabeth BayGet 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 Elizabeth Bay

Elizabeth Bay residents are largely professional services workers commuting toward the city, but the suburb also supports a hospitality workforce around Potts Point and Kings Cross.
