Workers Comp in Hmas Platypus — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
An RSI claim from a North Sydney tower and a wharf injury below Platypus both run through the same NSW process. It begins with a doctor's appointment, an examination and a Certificate of Capacity that records what you can still do. From there the insurer decides the claim. Our physios treat the neck and shoulder problems from screen work, and the strains that come with marine and dive services.

Workers Comp in Hmas Platypus — 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 Hmas PlatypusGet 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 Hmas Platypus
Workers comp claims in Hmas Platypus most often come from the local professional services and defence workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The HMAS Platypus precinct sits beneath North Sydney with mostly defence-adjacent and waterfront-tourism workers, plus the office workforce of nearby North Sydney towers. Workers compensation claims locally include the office-based repetitive-strain and neck injuries typical of the corporate sector, plus a small set of maritime-trade and dive-services injuries from the operators using the wharves around the former submarine base.
