Injury Management Programs

An injury management program is a process for effectively managing workplace injuries to achieve the best results for timely and safe return to work for injured workers. An injury management program should encourage a commitment to recovery and return to work through a coordinated and integrated approach to injury management.

We develop an injury management program for you and ensure this is effectively implemented across your business.

Return to Work

All employers must have a return to work program that consists of a formal policy to assist injured workers with their recovery and safe return to work. This program outlines your commitment to assisting injured workers following an injury or illness.

We help you clearly communicate and provide this program to your workers and work together to perform return to work coordination with your team.

Please note that maintaining a program of this nature is a statutory requirement in each state of Australia and failing to maintain this program may result in fines and penalties.

Claim Management

Workers Compensation claims, unfortunately, without active administration and monitoring from an employer, can result in a costly turn for your business. Workers Compensation Premiums are one of the most significant costs associated with business, while claims costs are often a significant factor in driving your premium rates.

Traditionally claims are handled directly between the employer and insurer.
