Workers Comp in Hillsdale — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Slips and lifting injuries around the Eastgardens centre are common enough that people assume they are part of the job. They are claimable, and it takes a medical appointment and a Certificate of Capacity to prove it. Tell your manager and ask for the incident to be recorded. Our physios treat Hillsdale retail, cleaning and warehouse workers under accepted claims, with our doctors managing the certificates.

Workers Comp in Hillsdale — 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 HillsdaleGet 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 Hillsdale
Workers comp claims in Hillsdale most often come from the local retail and hospitality workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Hillsdale sits beside the Eastgardens shopping precinct, with much of the workforce in retail, food service, and security work around Westfield. Lifting and slip-and-fall injuries dominate workers compensation claims, particularly among cleaners, deli staff, and stockers. The neighbouring industrial pocket toward Banksmeadow also draws warehouse workers who walk or bus to shift work along Botany Road.
