Getting you back to work

Returning to work and why it's important to your health and wellbeing.


Returning to or recovering at work can be very important for your overall health and wellbeing.

Getting you back to work can involve rehabilitation assessment, return to work planning and monitoring progress.

How a rehabilitation program works to support your successful recovery and return to work.

The key to an early and successful return to work lies in your employer's ability to provide you with duties within your capacity.

Reasonable adjustments can support your recovery and return to work.

Case conferences are an opportunity to discuss and plan individual claims.

Videos, factsheets and posters that explain the return to work process.
