If you are an employer and you feel out of your depth trying to navigate through the Workers Compensation process, you are not alone
We often meet employers who feel they continually walked through unchartered territories, trying to coordinate their claims. Admittedly, Workers Compensation is difficult and can be challenging for many involved. There are many aspects involved in a claim, and every claim is so unique, the process can definitely bring its fair share of headaches.

Admittedly, Workers Compensation is difficult and can be challenging for many involved. There are many aspects involved in a claim, and every claim is so unique, the process can definitely bring its fair share of headaches.
We have noticed that it is not uncommon for headaches to occur due to the lack of knowledge of who to talk to and inability to speak to the right person. At no added assistance, the insurance case managers are often changing which can result in the misplacement of claim information and uncertainty of the claims main point of contact. Unfamiliar rehab providers can also cause uncertainty surrounding the management of a claim as the individual consultants require the time to understand how your business operates to develop a graded Return to Work Plan to meet the collective needs of both the worker and your business. Not only are there challenges faced due to the complexity and sometimes unorganised nature of Workers Compensation, there are also many challenges as a result of the abundance of inconsistent information and subjective opinions and or different views. It is important to be able to escalate inconsistencies to relevant parties to gain appropriate and objective outcomes. Many of our clients have found our expertise and resources to be useful at managing the claim process with our rehabilitation team at Health Ability and mitigating claim inconsistencies and discrepancies with our Consulting team.
