Workers Comp in Kogarah — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital work dominates employment in Kogarah, and patient handling injuries dominate the claims that come with it. If your back or shoulder has gone from a transfer or a fall on a ward, the claim starts with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write those certificates for clinical staff who need duties adjusted. Physio for the injured back is covered while the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Kogarah — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in KogarahGet 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.
