Workers Comp in Kingsford — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen and delivery work along Anzac Parade means burns, cuts and road injuries, and student and casual workers are covered in the same way as anyone else in NSW. Report the injury to whoever runs the shift, then see a doctor for the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it and explain what it says. With an accepted claim, the insurer pays for your treatment.

Workers Comp in Kingsford — 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 KingsfordGet 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 Kingsford
Workers comp claims in Kingsford most often come from the local hospitality and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Kingsford's Anzac Parade strip is a dense cluster of restaurants, bubble tea shops, and cafes feeding the UNSW student population next door. Kitchen staff, delivery riders, and convenience retail workers dominate the day-to-day workforce, and the new CBD-South East light rail extension along Anzac Parade has reshaped both traffic and commuting injury patterns.
