Workers Comp in Haymarket — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Overnight cleaning and late kitchen shifts around Chinatown leave a lot of people working while injured. If that is you, a medical appointment is what converts the injury into a claim, through the Certificate of Capacity the doctor issues. Our doctors can explain what the certificate means for your shifts. Physiotherapy and the rest of the treatment are covered once the insurer accepts, including for the rail and civil workers on the Central Station jobs.

Workers Comp in Haymarket — 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 HaymarketGet 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 Haymarket

Haymarket workers fill the small-business retail, restaurant, and wholesale trades around Chinatown, with a layer of UTS and TAFE staff and students mixed in.

The construction at Central Station also adds rail and civil tradie claims.
