Workers Comp in Como — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Most Como claims open the same way — a carpenter who dropped off scaffold on a house site. A medical certificate written by someone who actually reads workers comp files daily takes the guesswork out of the rest of the claim. Once the file is open, scans, specialists and rehab visits start landing without a queue.

Workers Comp in Como — 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 doctor in ComoGet 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 Como
Workers comp claims in Como most often come from the local retail and construction workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Como sits on the Georges River north of Oyster Bay on the Cronulla rail line, with locals working across professional services in the CBD and Hurstville, marine trades along the river and the construction crews servicing the surrounding waterfront homes. Workers compensation claims out of Como typically involve neck, wrist and lower-back strain from long desk hours, paired with back, shoulder and laceration injuries from boat-handling and renovation work along the foreshore.
