Workers Comp in Sydney CBD — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
High-rise sites and hotel kitchens sit a few streets from the office towers, so claims out of Sydney CBD cover almost every kind of injury. The starting point does not change: a doctor examines you and completes the Certificate of Capacity for your employer. Our doctors do this for city workers, and our psychologists see people with work-related psychological injuries. An accepted claim covers the treatment that follows.

Workers Comp in Sydney CBD — 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 Sydney CBDGet 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.
