Workers Comp in St Pauls — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
A needlestick in a lab or a patient-handling injury on a ward has to be reported and assessed while the details are still exact. Booking a doctor's appointment gets the injury documented and produces the Certificate of Capacity your employer sends on. Our doctors also see the bar and waitstaff from the Coogee strip with burns and slip injuries. Our physios and psychologists provide the follow-up treatment the insurer funds.

Workers Comp in St Pauls — 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 PaulsGet 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 Pauls
Workers comp claims in St Pauls most often come from the local healthcare and education workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
St Pauls sits inside the Randwick health and education precinct, so the working population leans heavily toward Prince of Wales nurses, UNSW academics, and allied health staff. Workers compensation claims here often involve patient-handling back injuries among nurses and laboratory needlestick incidents. The nearby Coogee hospitality strip also keeps a flow of waitstaff and bar staff with slip-and-fall and burn claims passing through.
