Allianz Workers Compensation National Training

Helping injured workers return to work requires the support of employers and skilled RTW Coordinators. Under the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2023, employers have an obligation to appoint a RTW Coordinator with the appropriate seniority and competence (knowledge, skills and experience) to perform their role. This two-day course helps provide participants with the tools and knowledge to help injured workers who are certified medically fit to return to work in a timely, safe, and sustainable manner.

This two-day course covers the following topics:

•    The role of the RTW Coordinator
•    The RTW process 
•    Legal obligations of both the employer and injured worker in the RTW process 
•    Understanding the steps employers must take following a work-related injury
•    Identifying, negotiating and offering suitable employment options and developing effective RTW plans 
•    Monitoring and supporting the progress of an injured worker's recovery 
•    Communicating effectively with the injured worker, their treating practitioner and other stakeholders involved in the RTW process, including Allianz.
