Workers Comp in Marrickville South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Sydenham Road brewery and light-manufacturing workers in Marrickville South, plus Illawarra Road hospitality staff and Sydney Metro construction labourers, all end up needing one early doctor visit to start a workers comp file. Step one is a Certificate of Capacity signed by a WorkCover-trained doctor — that one page is what gives the file a pulse. After that the file stops being a stress source and starts being a checklist.

Workers Comp in Marrickville 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 doctor in Marrickville 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.

Sitting between Marrickville's old industrial pocket and the Cooks River, this corner of Marrickville South still leans heavily on light manufacturing, brewing and trade-services workshops along Sydenham Road. Hospitality workers from the venues around Illawarra Road also live close, with WorkCover claims here often involving shoulder, knee and burn injuries from kitchen and warehouse shifts. Construction labourers on the Sydney Metro upgrades round out the local mix.
