Workers Comp in Clovelly West — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
It usually starts on a shift — a barista pulling shots through a long shift in Clovelly West, something goes wrong, and now wrist RSI or steam burns on the forearm won't settle on its own. The first move is a Certificate of Capacity — a doctor familiar with WorkCover wording can hand one over in a single sitting. After that, every later piece simply slots in behind it.

Workers Comp in Clovelly West — 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 Clovelly WestGet 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.
Common workers comp claims in Clovelly West
Workers comp claims in Clovelly West most often come from the local hospitality and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Clovelly West sits inland from the cliffs, with locals working at Prince of Wales Hospital, the Randwick health precinct, and the cafes and surf-related retailers down the hill. Nursing back injuries, allied health repetitive-strain issues, and barista wrist problems make up the bulk of WorkCover claims around here. A steady flow of tradies also services the older Federation cottage stock.
