Workers Comp in Lugarno — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Builders and landscapers working the Georges River foreshore make up much of Lugarno's workforce, with the Forest Road cafes and the Hurstville commuters alongside them. Our doctors examine the injury, write the Certificate of Capacity and note the duties you can still handle. Your employer passes the certificate on so the insurer can open the claim. Rehabilitation with our physios is covered once that claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Lugarno — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in LugarnoGet 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 Lugarno

Tradies make up a large slice of Lugarno's workforce, with builders and landscapers servicing the Georges River foreshore renovations that define this pocket of southern Sydney. A workers compensation claim here typically comes from a back strain on a heavy-handling job or a hospitality slip at one of the Forest Road cafes. White-collar commuters drive out to Hurstville for the train.
