Who Needs Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator Training?
The program is suited to those people wanting to become a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator (RRTWC) or those wishing to formalise their on-the-job skills who:
- Assist their employer to discharge legislative obligations as outlined in S.226 of the Workers Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003
- Raise awareness of other members of the workforce regarding workplace rehabilitation
- Communicate with injured workers and other key persons involved in the rehabilitation process
From July 1 2020, an employer is required to submit details of their appointed RRTWC to their insurer. These details must include:
- The RRTWC’s name and contact details
- A statement about how they are appropriately qualified
- Details of each workplace for which the RRTWC is appointed
More information about these changes can be found on the WHSQ website.
Note: This unit does not in any way address the process of treating the worker for their injury or illness, as this is the task of health and rehabilitation professionals.
