Workers Comp in North Wahroonga — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital work and desk work both wear out the same joints over a long career, and North Wahroonga sends us plenty of each. A claim needs a doctor's examination, plus the Certificate of Capacity the insurer will assess before treatment or wages are sorted. Our doctors write it, our physios treat the neck, wrist or shoulder, and an accepted claim covers the cost of that treatment.

Workers Comp in North Wahroonga — 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 WahroongaGet 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.

North Wahroonga sits north of Wahroonga between Waitara and Bobbin Head, with most working residents commuting toward Chatswood, St Leonards or the CBD for finance, professional services and medical specialist roles. WorkCover matters here lean toward keyboard wrist injuries, the chronic neck strain from long screen days, nursing manual-handling damage at Royal North Shore and Sydney Adventist, plus the shoulder issues medical specialists develop across long surgical careers.
