Workers Comp in Camperdown — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
RPA clinical staff with patient-handling damage, plus University of Sydney research and teaching workers carrying screen-time strain, fill the Camperdown workers compensation caseload. A proper initial assessment, done by a workers comp-experienced clinician, is usually enough to put the claim on the insurer's desk the same afternoon. After that, what felt like chaos starts behaving like a normal claim with a normal timeline.

Workers Comp in Camperdown — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For nursing manual-handling injuries, aggression claims, or shift-work-related strain, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a doctor in CamperdownGet 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.

Camperdown is dominated by Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the main University of Sydney campus, together forming one of the state's biggest single-precinct clinical and research workforces.
