Workers Comp in Potts Point — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospitality work around Potts Point produces a steady trickle — a front-of-house worker with chronic foot pain after years standing. It traces back to one early visit: the medical certificate from the first appointment. With nothing on paper, the insurer cannot move from inbox to action. Most workers compensation files come good once that first record is in.

Workers Comp in Potts Point — 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 Potts PointGet 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 Potts Point

Potts Point packs dozens of small bars, restaurants, and boutique hotels into its art-deco blocks between Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo Bay. Baristas, chefs, and hotel housekeepers cycle through long split shifts, and the steep hills and wet kitchen floors behind Macleay Street drive a steady trickle of sprains and burns.
