Workers Comp in St Leonards — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital and medical-precinct staff are used to being on the treating side, which makes it harder to sit down as the patient. A work injury still needs a separate doctor's appointment and a Certificate of Capacity in your name. Our doctors do that for clinical staff, office workers in the Pacific Highway towers and the trades on the station works. The cost of treatment with our physios and psychologists moves to the insurer once your claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in St Leonards — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in St LeonardsGet 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 Leonards
Workers comp claims in St Leonards most often come from the local healthcare and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
St Leonards is built around Royal North Shore Hospital and the surrounding medical precinct, one of the largest clinical employers north of the harbour. Office towers along the Pacific Highway add legal and tech firms to the mix, and the Metro-driven construction boom at the station has layered trade injuries on top of the usual clinical and ergonomic claims.
