Consulting
Renowned WorkCover and RTW Employer Consulting
According to the Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association, over 120,000 serious workers’ compensation claims have been made in the country due to workplace injuries (and fatalities). As a result, businesses of all sizes and niches are required to ensure that their workplace environment is safe to minimize accidents and injuries. However, in many industries or circumstances, injuries are often unavoidable. In this case, employers must have injury management and return to work (RTW) policies and procedures to comply with national and state legislation.
Unfortunately, many business owners don’t have the tools, expertise, and strategies to facilitate a seamless transition for returning employees. Here, Return to Work PLUS comes into work with employers, managers, and other stakeholders to improve their understanding of injury management, employee compensation, and return to work coordination.
The Return to Work PLUS team has extensive experience working with Victorian businesses and can offer solid advice to make your workplace safer. The team can also provide health & safety training to your staff. Whether you have an in-house RTW coordinator or looking to take on this role, you can opt for our 2-Day WorkSafe-accredited RRTWC training course.
So, get in touch with our RWT Consulting specialists right away and take a proactive approach to protect your staff from injuries and help injured workers return to their original or revised roles seamlessly.
