Workers Comp in Leichhardt — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Norton Street's kitchens, the clinics and health services on Marion Street and the terrace renovation trades employ much of Leichhardt. An injury in any of them needs a medical assessment before the insurer will consider a claim, and that assessment produces the Certificate of Capacity. Tell your employer what happened, then call us to book a WorkCover doctor. Once your claim is accepted, we line up physio and psychology.

Workers Comp in Leichhardt — 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 LeichhardtGet 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 Leichhardt
Workers comp claims in Leichhardt most often come from the local hospitality and healthcare workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Norton Street's Italian restaurants and the Italian Forum give Leichhardt its cultural reputation, and both continue to anchor a large hospitality workforce. The Royal Prince Alfred satellite clinics and community-health services along Marion Street provide a meaningful clinical employer base, and the heritage-terrace housing keeps renovation trades steadily booked.
