Workers Comp in Penshurst — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen burns and aged-care lifting injuries make up a good share of what Penshurst workers bring to us. Pushing through either one delays the claim, which only opens after a doctor has examined you and issued a Certificate of Capacity. You will not see a bill from our physios or psychologists while the claim is accepted, and our doctors keep the certificates up to date.

Workers Comp in Penshurst — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in PenshurstGet 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 Penshurst
Workers comp claims in Penshurst most often come from the local retail and hospitality workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Penshurst sits on the East Hills rail line between Hurstville and Mortdale, with locals working across retail along Penshurst Street, hospitality, healthcare at St George Hospital and the construction trades feeding the surrounding rebuild. WorkCover claims here lean toward nursing and aged-care manual-handling damage, kitchen burns and wait-staff slips along the cafe strip, plus tile-setter and plasterer knee injuries from constant work on the older Federation housing stock.
