Workers Comp in Ultimo — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
University, media and hospitality work sit side by side in Ultimo. Shoulder strain from long camera and audio shifts is as claimable as a burn from a Harris Street kitchen, and casual staff are covered too. No claim moves without a doctor's examination and the certificate that comes from it. Our doctors write it, and the rehabilitation afterwards is done by our physios.

Workers Comp in Ultimo — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For teacher voice strain, posture and back complaints, or playground incidents, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in UltimoGet 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 Ultimo
Workers comp claims in Ultimo most often come from the local education and media workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Ultimo's working population centres on UTS staff, ABC and media workers, and the small-business hospitality and retail strip along Harris Street. Workers compensation claims locally lean toward office-based repetitive-strain injuries, hospitality slip-and-falls, and the camera and audio-operator strain claims from the media sector. The constant student turnover also props up a casual cafe and bar workforce with the typical kitchen injury profile.
