Workers Comp in St Andrews — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Disability and aged-care support workers get hurt lifting and transferring people, and it is often written off as part of the job. Under NSW law it is a claimable injury like any other. Tell your manager what happened and book a medical appointment, since the Certificate of Capacity only comes from a doctor. Forklift and picking injuries from the Ingleburn estates follow the same path, and our physios treat both under the claim.

Workers Comp in St Andrews — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in St AndrewsGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in St Andrews
Workers comp claims in St Andrews most often come from the local retail and manufacturing workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
St Andrews is a quiet residential pocket between Raby and Minto, with most workers in retail, light manufacturing at the Ingleburn estates, and the trades servicing the Macarthur housing rollout. Workers compensation injuries here typically involve forklift back issues, warehouse picking strain, and the falls and lacerations common to construction work. A growing pool of aged-care and disability support workers also drives strain-injury claims.
