Workers Comp in Maroubra South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Correctional and hospital employers, the Anzac Parade kitchens and the tradies on the older housing stock account for most Maroubra South work. The claim needs a doctor to examine you and issue the Certificate of Capacity before anything else happens. The doctor records the duties you can still perform on it. Once liability is accepted, the insurer funds the physio and psychology we line up.

Workers Comp in Maroubra South — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in Maroubra SouthGet 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 Maroubra South
Workers comp claims in Maroubra South most often come from the local healthcare and corrections workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The southern end of Maroubra runs into Malabar's marine industry and Long Bay's institutional employers, so the workforce skews toward correctional staff, healthcare, and the hospitality crews along Anzac Parade. Workers compensation matters here often involve nurses, custodial officers handling difficult lifts, and chefs with knife and burn injuries. A steady pool of tradies also services the older Maroubra housing stock.
