Returning to work

All employers who employ more than 20 employees are required to have a Rehabilitation Policy which should be displayed in the workplace.

If you are incapacitated for a period that exceeds 14 days from the date of injury then the employer has to provide you with a Return to Work Plan.

This will involve the employer providing the injured member with a Rehabilitation Provider who, along with the injured member, will talk to the treating doctor/s to establish a Return to Work Plan. This may include modified duties or even retraining for other duties.

The purpose for a Return to Work Plan is to try to assist the member with their return to work. It is clear that if a member spends too much time away from the workplace then it is less likely that they will be able to return to work.

Members should comply with any Return to Work Plan that is prepared for you but if you have any concerns regarding the Return to Work Plan then these should be raised at the time of formation of the plan. You will be asked to sign the Return to Work Plan.
