Workers Comp in Gordon — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Council staff at the Ku-ring-gai chambers and shop workers in the Gordon Centre use the same claim path as any tradesperson injured on a local site. It opens with a medical appointment and the Certificate of Capacity that comes out of it, which sets your work restrictions in writing. Tell your employer on the day if you can. Our allied health team provides the treatment an accepted claim covers.

Workers Comp in Gordon — 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 GordonGet 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 Gordon
Workers comp claims in Gordon most often come from the local professional services and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Gordon is the administrative centre of Ku-ring-gai council and hosts the council chambers, a cluster of small professional offices, and the Gordon Centre shopping precinct. A large share of the local workforce is commuter-based, but in-suburb employment is concentrated in retail, allied health, and the trade crews servicing the surrounding heritage homes.
