Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hurt at work while living in Westleigh? Whether it came from a slip on a bush-edge street or from years at a keyboard, the NSW claim follows one route. You see a doctor for an examination and a Certificate of Capacity, which then goes to your employer and their insurer. Our physios and psychologists take the treatment from there, all inside the one clinic.

Workers Comp in Westleigh — 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 WestleighGet 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 Westleigh
Workers comp claims in Westleigh most often come from the local professional services and finance workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Westleigh's quiet streets back onto the Berowra Valley bushland between Thornleigh and Pennant Hills, with residents leaning toward professional services and finance roles tied to North Sydney, Macquarie Park and the Hornsby commercial centre. WorkCover matters here lean toward keyboard wrist injuries, slips on the suburb's bush-edge streets, the chronic neck damage from long screen shifts, plus the nursing manual-handling strain that builds across long Hornsby Hospital rosters.
