Workers Comp in Woollahra — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Small employers are common around Woollahra, and staff often worry that a claim will make things awkward at work. Workers compensation is insurance the employer already holds, and using it is your right as a worker in NSW. The Certificate of Capacity a doctor writes at that appointment is what opens the claim. Our physios treat the burn or the strain, and our psychologists are there if the situation at work is weighing on you.

Workers Comp in Woollahra — 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 WoollahraGet 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.
