Workers Comp in Henley — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Desk-based injuries get dismissed as not serious until someone cannot hold a mouse for an hour. In the NSW scheme they are treated like any other work injury, starting with a doctor's appointment and a Certificate of Capacity. Tell your employer, even if the injury built up slowly. Our physios treat the neck, wrist and back problems that come with long screen hours, and the trade injuries from the Henley waterfront jobs.

Workers Comp in Henley — 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 HenleyGet 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 Henley
Workers comp claims in Henley most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Henley is a small Parramatta River peninsula between Huntleys Cove and Hunters Hill, with most working residents in senior professional services, finance and corporate roles commuting into the CBD or Macquarie Park. Workers compensation issues out of Henley are largely desk-bound — neck, wrist and lower-back strain from long screen hours — with a smaller stream of injuries among the renovation and marine trades servicing the surrounding waterfront properties.
