Workers Comp in Sydney South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Legal and government offices around the courts sit alongside active tower sites, so Sydney South claims run from desk-related neck and wrist problems through to falls and crush injuries. All of them need the same first document. A doctor has to examine you and complete a Certificate of Capacity before the insurer will fund anything. Our doctors handle that, and our physios and psychologists provide the treatment afterwards.

Workers Comp in Sydney South — 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 SouthGet 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.
