Rehabilitation & Return to Work Training Coordinator

Does your workplace have more than 30 employees....?

Recent legislative changes to the WorkCover Scheme require that from 1 January 2009 all employees with 30 or more employees are required to appoint a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator (RRTWC).

Furthermore, that the RRTWC is required to undertake training to perform their role.

A rehabilitation and return to work coordinator focuses on and coordinates rehabilitation and return to work efforts in the workplace.  Early intervention at the workplace reduces lost-time claims and overall claims costs, and has a big impact on reducing long-term claims.

WorkCover SA requires that the appointed RRTWC undertakes training with an Approved Training Provider to gain the essential skills to effectively manage their role, and to develop an understanding of injury and return to work management.

SA Unions is a WorkCover approved training provider of Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators.  Our specialist trainers and facilitators have many years experience in providing the highest quality training and are committed to delivering best practice through the design, delivery and content in a continual improvement cycle.
