Workers Comp in Woolooware — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
The precinct redevelopment has put many Woolooware locals on a construction site, while the Cronulla strip keeps the hospitality workforce on its feet. An injury on either side needs medical assessment first, and the Certificate of Capacity comes out of that appointment. Our doctors write it around your actual duties. Physiotherapy is part of what an accepted claim pays for.

Workers Comp in Woolooware — 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 WooloowareGet 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.
