Workers Comp in Sydney South — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Across Sydney South, the story that keeps coming back is a ceiling plasterer with shoulders that have called it a day. What turns the page is a first signed medical note from a doctor who actually understands the workers comp scheme. After that, the steps line up: wage cover, physio, scans, a return plan.

Workers Comp in Sydney South — 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 Sydney 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.
