Workers Comp in North Sydney — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A crane site at Victoria Cross and a floor of an office tower above it sit under the same workers compensation rules. If you are hurt in either, your first move is a doctor's appointment for an examination and a Certificate of Capacity. The certificate stays with our doctors, and the treatment side sits with our physios and psychologists, funded by the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in North Sydney — 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 North SydneyGet 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 North Sydney
Workers comp claims in North Sydney most often come from the local finance and technology workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
North Sydney's office towers host major banks, insurers, and tech firms, with Microsoft's Australian headquarters a long-standing fixture on Walker Street. Heavy construction around the Victoria Cross Metro station has layered thousands of trade jobs on top of the suburb's white-collar base, creating claims that run the gamut from RSI to crane-site incidents.
