Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation

It's simple: the longer someone is away from work, the less likely they are to return.

• YOU are legally responsible to provide rehabilitation and return to work opportunities for your workers who have a work-related injury.
• Effective injury management keeps down the costs of workers compensation claims. If the overall cost of claims for your industry drops, the industry levy rate will be reduced.
• Because you should be a caring employer; and
• Injured workers get paid money but are unproductive because they are not at work.

YOU will benefit in many ways from safer work practices. For example, if your injured workers can get back to work you will not need to replace them.

So, in order to ensure they come back to work, you need to be actively involved in the claim and the claims process. This is managing a claim.

Studies have shown that every dollar of a workers compensation claim costs a business up to nine times more in indirect costs.

By actively managing your WorkCover claims you will:

• Reduce time away from work
• Reduce your claims costs
• Reduce your WorkCover premium cost
• Reduce the risk of successful common law claims
