Workers Comp in Killara — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Arborists, gardeners and painters working the Killara properties spend their days on ladders, in trees and holding tools overhead, which is where most local injuries begin. A fall or a shoulder that has given out needs a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity before the claim can go anywhere. Our doctors provide both, and the physio that follows is paid for through the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Killara — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in KillaraGet 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 Killara
Workers comp claims in Killara most often come from the local construction and education workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Killara's streets are lined with heritage homes and the grounds of several large independent schools, and maintenance of both provides steady work for arborists, gardeners, and painters. The slow but constant trickle of knockdown-rebuild projects across the suburb keeps residential builders and site supervisors on the ground year-round.
