Ten of the most-claimed NSW workplace injuries. Each page walks through causes, symptoms, what WorkCover covers and how our team handles the claim.
You don't have to figure out which team you need first
Our doctors, physios, psychologists, rehab providers and compensation lawyers all work together under one roof. You book once — and the right people get looped in.
Every injury page on this site links to the same starting point: a phone call with one of our WorkCover doctors. They do the assessment, write the Certificate of Capacity, lodge the claim and refer you straight to whichever of our in-house teams your recovery needs.
Physical injuries usually start with physio. Psychological injuries start with our psychologists. Complex or disputed claims bring in our compensation lawyers. You don't choose — your doctor coordinates it, and every appointment is paid by the insurer.
