Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
University staff, cafe crews and aged-care workers around Kensington get hurt in very different ways, from voice and shoulder strain in teaching to burns and lifting injuries in food service. The NSW process treats them alike. Our doctors examine you, write the Certificate of Capacity and set your restrictions. The insurer then pays for the physio and psychology your recovery needs.

Workers Comp in Kensington — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in KensingtonGet 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.
