Workers Comp in Lindfield — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Teachers and campus staff, practice nurses, shop workers and renovation tradies all work around Lindfield. The claim process treats them alike, starting with a doctor who examines the injury and completes the Certificate of Capacity your employer sends to their insurer. Our doctors do that assessment, and once liability is accepted our physios treat the injury at the insurer's expense.

Workers Comp in Lindfield — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in LindfieldGet 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 Lindfield

Lindfield sits in the middle of the North Shore rail corridor, surrounded by independent schools, small medical practices, and a modest Pacific Highway retail strip. The UTS Lindfield campus and a steady residential renovation market layer academic and trade workers onto a largely professional commuter population.
