Workers Comp in St Ives — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The equestrian yards on the bushland fringe produce very different claims from the ones that come out of St Ives offices and the shopping village, but the paperwork is identical. The insurer funds nothing until a doctor has examined you and issued a Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors handle horse-handling injuries, checkout strain and keyboard-related wrist and neck problems alike. Our physios pick up the rehabilitation once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in St Ives — 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 St IvesGet 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 Ives
Workers comp claims in St Ives most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
St Ives sits along Mona Vale Road with residents mostly in professional services and finance commuting south, plus a sizeable retail workforce at the local shopping village. WorkCover claims here lean toward keyboard-driven wrist injuries, supermarket and pharmacy checkout repetitive strain, plus the shoulder and knee damage carpenters and plasterers carry from the area's high-end renovation work. A pocket of equestrian-industry workers in the bushland fringe also files horse-kick and livestock-handling claims.
