The National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030 has been implemented by Safework Australia members to help workers Return to Work (RTW), or to stay at work while recovering from their work-related injury or illness. Embedding effective and practical RTW processes is critical within all-sized businesses.
The aim of the National Strategy is to identify the challenges Australia faces across the various Workers Compensation Schemes and to implement a way to improve return to work outcomes for injured workers.
SafeWork Australia has advised Collaboration is key to the success of this National Strategy. A webpage has been created where all key information relating to the National Strategy can be found.
The five action areas for the Strategy are:
1. Supporting workers
2. Building positive workplace culture and leadership
3. Supporting employers
4. Supporting stakeholders
5. Building & translating evidence
