Existing RTW Coordinators wishing to consolidate their skills and newly appointment RTW Coordinators requiring skills development. The course is also suitable for supervisors, employers and Health and Safety Representatives.
Course Objective:

To provide participants with knowledge as to legislative expectations of themselves and their employer as well as practical tools and advice about how they can build on these expectations to implement effective return to work practices.

Key Topics Covered:

  • The importance of return to work and sustainable return to work outcome
  • Effectively facilitate the return of an injured worker communicating with Treating Practitioners
  • Responding to workplace injuries Policies & Return to Work Plans
  • Cultural change: communicating to your team with injured workers

Here are just some of the challenges that employers face in the RTW process:

  • Difficulties in communicating with treating practitioners
  • Non progressive RTW i.e full time hours achieved but still no modified duties
  • Inconsistent approach to RTW
  • Lack of suitable duties or unable to identify duties to match capacity

This two day training program has been developed to ensure that staff involved in the return to work process acquire the right skills & knowledge to perform their role effectively.
