Workers Comp in Enmore — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Enmore sees its share of these files — a kitchen-hand with a mandoline laceration. It comes down to one thing early on: a complete report from the first appointment. Without it, claim managers and treating physios are reading from different scripts. In a workers compensation file, the early appointment is where the timeline is set.

Workers Comp in Enmore — 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 EnmoreGet 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 Enmore
Workers comp claims in Enmore most often come from the local hospitality and creative industries workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Enmore Road's live-music venues — led by the Enmore Theatre — and its late-night food strip make hospitality the dominant employer. Small design studios, a growing Enmore TAFE creative-industries intake, and the independent retailers along King Street round out a workforce with notably long and irregular hours.
