Workers Comp in Matraville — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Renovation crews, electricians and the Bunnerong industrial precinct give Matraville a heavily manual workforce, with the older housing stock adding asbestos concerns. Those concerns should be assessed and documented by a doctor rather than left alone. Our doctors put the findings and your work restrictions into the Certificate of Capacity. With the claim accepted, our physios treat you at the insurer's cost.

Workers Comp in Matraville — 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 MatravilleGet 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 Matraville
Workers comp claims in Matraville most often come from the local construction and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Matraville's mix of older fibro homes and newer townhouses keeps builders, electricians and renovation crews steady, while many locals work at the nearby Bunnerong industrial precinct or in retail along Bunnerong Road. WorkCover claims here often involve falls from scaffolds, electrical burns, asbestos-handling concerns on older renovations, and the lower-back injuries that come with framing and roofing work in the area's compact terrain.
