Workers Comp in Randwick — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital and university work in Randwick covers a wide range of injuries, from patient handling and needle-stick incidents to laboratory strain and the psychological injuries that come with clinical work. All of them are claimable, and all of them begin with a doctor's examination and a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors carry out that examination, our physios treat the physical injury, and our psychologists work with staff whose injury is a mental-health one.

Workers Comp in Randwick — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in RandwickGet 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.
