Workers Comp in Woolloomooloo — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Kitchen work along the Woolloomooloo wharf produces burns and lifting injuries, and the government and legal offices up the hill produce slower neck and shoulder problems. Both belong in the NSW scheme. A claim begins when your employer is notified and a doctor issues the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write it, and the physiotherapy that follows is paid for by the insurer.

Workers Comp in Woolloomooloo — 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 WoolloomoolooGet 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.
