Workers Comp in Ultimo — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Ultimo UTS staff, ABC and media workers, plus Harris Street small-business hospitality and retail workers end up at the same first appointment when something goes wrong on shift. The early decision shapes everything after: a clear doctor's note from someone used to these claims. Without it, the file just sits and nothing moves. A WorkCover-experienced GP makes the rest of the paperwork far simpler.

Workers Comp in Ultimo — 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 UltimoGet 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 Ultimo
Workers comp claims in Ultimo most often come from the local finance and professional services workforces, alongside the back, shoulder, and stress injuries common across every industry.
Ultimo's working population centres on UTS staff, ABC and media workers, and the small-business hospitality and retail strip along Harris Street. Workers compensation claims locally lean toward office-based repetitive-strain injuries, hospitality slip-and-falls, and the camera and audio-operator strain claims from the media sector. The constant student turnover also props up a casual cafe and bar workforce with the typical kitchen injury profile.
