Workers Comp in Undercliffe — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Knee and shoulder damage from trade work is easy to put off until it stops you working. If that has happened to you in Undercliffe, the first appointment sorts out both the treatment and the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write the certificate, list your restrictions on it and issue updates as things change. Physiotherapy and, where needed, psychology are covered on an accepted claim.

Workers Comp in Undercliffe — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
If you're a tradie with a back strain, a fall on-site, or a crush injury from machinery, the first move is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in UndercliffeGet 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 Undercliffe
Workers comp claims in Undercliffe most often come from the local construction and retail workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Undercliffe is a small wedge between Earlwood and Wolli Creek, with locals working mostly in trades, retail along Canterbury Road, and the Sydney Park-adjacent hospitality scene. Tile setters, painters, and shopfitters file most workers compensation claims here, alongside the back and knee injuries from the long-shift kitchen workers in Marrickville. Cooks River cycle commuters add a quiet white-collar layer.
