Workers Comp in Tamarama — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Baristas and kitchen staff on the Tamarama strip work fast in tight spaces, which is how most burns and wrist injuries here happen. Anything that happens at work belongs in the NSW scheme, and a Certificate of Capacity from a doctor is what activates it. Our doctors see both the hospitality crews and the finance and office staff who commute into the city. Physiotherapy and psychology sessions with our team are covered once the claim is accepted.

Workers Comp in Tamarama — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in TamaramaGet 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.
