Workers Comp in Putney — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Wrist and neck injuries built up over years at a keyboard are among the most common claims for Putney commuters, and they get dismissed as too small to bother with. They qualify like any other work injury. We book a WorkCover doctor, who takes the work history the insurer expects and issues the Certificate of Capacity, then we line up physio under an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Putney — 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 PutneyGet 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 Putney
Workers comp claims in Putney most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Putney sits on the Parramatta River north of Tennyson Point, with most working residents commuting toward Macquarie Park, North Sydney or the CBD for finance, tech and professional services jobs. WorkCover matters here usually involve keyboard wrist injuries, slips on the suburb's steep waterfront streets, the cumulative neck damage from long trading shifts, plus shoulder problems lab technicians develop across the river at the medical research campuses.
