Workers Comp in Linley Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Finance, law and allied-health work fills most of Linley Point, and injuries from it rarely arrive in one dramatic moment. Gradual injuries are claimable, and the process starts when a doctor examines you and writes the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle that appointment, and physio treatment continues while the claim stands at no cost to you.

Workers Comp in Linley Point — 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 Linley PointGet 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 Linley Point
Workers comp claims in Linley Point most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Linley Point's leafy streets along the Lane Cove River house a professional workforce in finance, legal and allied-health roles, mostly commuting toward North Sydney and the Macquarie Park business cluster. Workers compensation claims usually involve screen-driven neck strain from long desk hours, the cumulative thumb and wrist load that follows a finance career, plus shoulder injuries common to physios and allied-health practitioners in the local consulting rooms.
