Introduction to Return to Work Coordination

Print PDF

Course aim

Category 1 employers are required by WorkCover to designate a  return-to-work coordinator, who must attending training.

The coordinator is to be someone employed by the employer, or someone engaged specifically for that purpose.  Employers can enter into shared arrangements for employing a return-to-work coordinator.

The return-to-work coordinator must hold:

  • a WorkCover certificate certifying attendance at the WorkCover accredited two-day course 'Introduction to Return-To-Work Coordination'  OR
  • a WorkCover certificate certifying attendance at a two-day WorkCover accredited training course for rehabilitation coordinators that was conducted prior to February 1995  OR
  • a letter from WorkCover's Workplace Injury Management Branch agreeing to exempt the return-to-work coordinator from the requirement to participate in WorkCover accredited training.
