Triage support to address needs and prevent or mitigate claims costs

Our early intervention process is focussed on connecting the injured worker and the employer to ensure they maintain contact regarding recovery and RTW planning while the claim is pending. Early intervention specialists can often herp facilitate RTW before liability has been determined and are responsible for providing immediate support to:

  • Employers, to help identify suitable duties
  • Treating health practitioners, to establish functional capacity
  • Injured workers, to establish support needs and identify biopsychosocial barriers

Guidance and support to help employees return to work

We offer comprehensive RTW resources designed to support both employers and employees during the recovery process following a workplace injury. These programs are tailored to facilitate a smooth transition back to work, addressing both physical and emotional recovery needs.

For employers, these programs can help minimise financial impacts by reducing downtime and maintaining productivity. For workers, returning to work can enhance self-esteem, improve mental health and ensure that their skills and knowledge remain.

Our team is committed to providing guidance and support throughout this process, ensuring that both parties meet their obligations and benefit from a successful return to work program.
