Workers Comp in Redfern — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
South Eveleigh desks and the tower sites along Gibbons Street sit a few hundred metres apart and produce completely different injuries. Desk-based strain and site trauma are both covered, provided a doctor examines you and writes a Certificate of Capacity. We book Redfern workers in with a WorkCover doctor for that, line up physio for the back, wrist and shoulder, and find a psychologist when the injury is a psychological one.

Workers Comp in Redfern — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
Whatever the injury, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor — no employer or insurer approval needed first.
Book a WorkCover doctor in RedfernGet 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 Redfern
Workers comp claims in Redfern most often come from the local technology and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The South Eveleigh tech precinct — home to Commonwealth Bank's innovation campus — has pulled thousands of desk-based workers into Redfern's old railway yards. Surrounding terrace renovations and apartment towers along Gibbons Street keep trade crews busy, while community health services on Regent Street remain a steady local employer.
