Workers Comp in Kirribilli — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Long screen hours produce neck, wrist and lower-back injuries that are claimable in NSW, and Kirribilli has plenty of them alongside burns and slips from the cafe strip. To lodge one you need to be examined by a doctor and issued a Certificate of Capacity. The doctor we book writes that certificate and sets restrictions your employer can apply. An accepted claim covers your physio and psychology costs.

Workers Comp in Kirribilli — 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 KirribilliGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor writes this at 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. We make sure it reaches your employer and insurer.
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 Kirribilli
Workers comp claims in Kirribilli most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Kirribilli sits at the northern foot of the Harbour Bridge, with most working residents in finance, law and senior professional services commuting into the CBD across the bridge or by ferry. Workers compensation matters out of Kirribilli are largely desk-bound — neck, wrist and lower-back complaints from long screen hours — with a smaller stream of hospitality slip and burn injuries from the cafe and restaurant strip along Broughton Street and Fitzroy Street.
