Workers Comp in Erina — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Stocking shelves, running a kitchen and driving the highway freight run all end up in the same claims system, and Erina generates plenty of each. What matters early is that a doctor examines the injury and completes the Certificate of Capacity, because payments and treatment approvals follow that document. The certificates come from our doctors, and the recovery work is done by our physios.

Workers Comp in Erina — 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 ErinaGet 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 Erina
Workers comp claims in Erina most often come from the local retail and hospitality workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Erina is the Central Coast retail heart anchored by Erina Fair, so most locals work in retail, hospitality, healthcare around Gosford Hospital, or trades servicing the East Gosford renovation market. WorkCover claims here typically involve back strain from stocking, slip-and-fall in the food court, and chef burns. The Pacific Highway corridor also adds a regular stream of transport and freight-driver injuries to the mix.
