Workers Comp in Wahroonga — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital work at the San covers clinical, allied health and kitchen roles, and injuries come out of all of them. Patient handling, sharps injuries and burns are treated here, and each one needs a Certificate of Capacity for the claim to proceed. Our doctors examine you and write it, including the restrictions your ward or department has to work around. Our physios take over the back and shoulder rehabilitation, which the claim covers.

Workers Comp in Wahroonga — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in WahroongaGet 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.
