Workers Comp in Seaforth — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Repetitive strain from years at a keyboard is a workers compensation injury in NSW, same as a fall on a renovation job. Either way you need a doctor's assessment and a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will pay for treatment. Our doctors handle both ends of the Seaforth workforce, from desk-based neck and wrist complaints to the lifting injuries tradies pick up locally. Our physios work on the neck, wrist and shoulder problems, and our psychologists take psychological injury claims.

Workers Comp in Seaforth — 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 SeaforthGet 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.

Seaforth's elevated streets between Middle Harbour and Manly Vale house a workforce leaning toward professional services, with residents mostly commuting across the Spit Bridge into Sydney CBD or working at the surrounding Balgowlah-Brookvale commercial belts. Workers compensation matters in Seaforth typically involve repetitive-strain neck and wrist injuries from desk-based corporate work, plus the lifting and falls claims common to tradies servicing the steady local renovation circuit.
