Workers Comp in Leonay — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Leonay's working day splits between desks in Penrith and the city, roof and gutter jobs on the older brick housing, and the grounds crews at the golf course. A wrist that has given out at a keyboard and a shoulder torn on a roof are both claimable injuries. Our doctors run the examination, then keep the certificate in step with your recovery. Approved physio sessions are invoiced to the insurer while the claim stands.

Workers Comp in Leonay — 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 LeonayGet 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 Leonay

Leonay sits at the foot of the Blue Mountains beside Lapstone with residents largely in professional services commuting to Penrith or the city, plus the trades servicing the lower-mountains renovation pipeline. Workers compensation files at Leonay cover ergonomic RSI from desk-bound commuters, roofer and gutter-fitter footing slips on older brick housing, plus the groundskeeper lumbar and rotator-cuff overuse tied to the prominent local golf course.
