Workers Comp in Kensington — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
UNSW academic and support staff, Prince of Wales nurses and Anzac Parade hospitality crews all generate Kensington workers compensation claims sharing an opening. The single decisive step is an early visit to a clinician who knows the workers comp scheme cold, not just in theory. Once it is lodged, wages, scans and review dates each start to behave to a real timeline.

Workers Comp in Kensington — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For RSI, shoulder tension, or stress claims common in office work, you'll see a WorkCover-trained GP first — no employer approval needed.
Book a doctor in KensingtonGet 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.
