Workers Comp in Maroubra South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Long Bay correctional officers, Eastern Suburbs healthcare workers and Anzac Parade hospitality crews all generate Maroubra South workers compensation claims that share a procedural opening. The procedural front door is small: a first GP visit with someone used to filling out workers comp forms. Skip that step and the wage gap simply keeps widening. The injury sets the timeline; the first appointment sets the speed.

Workers Comp in Maroubra South — 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 Maroubra SouthGet 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 Maroubra South
Workers comp claims in Maroubra South most often come from the local hospitality and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
The southern end of Maroubra runs into Malabar's marine industry and Long Bay's institutional employers, so the workforce skews toward correctional staff, healthcare, and the hospitality crews along Anzac Parade. Workers compensation matters here often involve nurses, custodial officers handling difficult lifts, and chefs with knife and burn injuries. A steady pool of tradies also services the older Maroubra housing stock.
