Under the most Australia state legislation, responsive injury & claim management processes are more essential than ever before to help minimise claims costs, premium increases & ensure injured workers have agreed RTW processes. Workers compensation claims can be highly administrative for businesses that must manage injured workers in addition to other activities. In additional with injured workers being absent or unable to perform their pre-injury duties, inefficient injury or claim management can have impacts on other staff, clients/customers, other stakeholders & your business. Services & advice areas include yet not limited to:

• Injury support advice
• Claim notification & lodgement
• Workers compensation claim management
• Strategic claim reviews for both open & historical workers compensation claims
• Whole Person Impairment (WPI) advice

In NSW businesses with a workers compensation premium >$30,000, have Claims Experience Rated Premiums. In simple terms, this means if your business has claims your next 3 premiums will increase based on the specific costs relating to your claim/s. Engaging a qualified Return to Work Coordinator (RTWC) will often make the process simpler, quicker & easier by accelerating RTW & thereby helping minimise related business effects. A qualified RTWC plays a critical role in ensuring injured workers return to work quickly & thereby minimise claim costs & lost wages. Many businesses have an internal resource who performs the RTWC style role yet often these individuals have many other roles that can negatively impact the effectiveness of RTW efforts. Such businesses can benefit greatly from engaging external specialists who possess extensive experience managing insurers, doctors, investigators, rehab, legal providers as well as understanding the legislative, medical & financial related aspects. Additionally, all NSW businesses with workers compensation premiums >$50,000, must appoint a Return to Work Coordinator (RTWC), have a RTW Program & other specific documents to comply with legislated obligations & avoid fines/penalties.
