Workers Comp in South Turramurra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Office workers often assume workers compensation is for site injuries, so a neck or wrist problem from years at a screen goes unreported. It is claimable in NSW when the work caused it. Our doctors assess these injuries, complete the Certificate of Capacity and set out reduced duties where you need them. Carpenters and plasterers on the South Turramurra renovation circuit get the same assessment, and our physios treat both under the accepted claim.

Workers Comp in South Turramurra — 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 South TurramurraGet 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.
