Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator
An employer must appoint a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator (RRTWC) who is based in Queensland and is employed by the employer under a contract of service. Employers with multiple workplaces can appoint the same RRTWC for more than one workplace as long as the Coordinator can sufficiently perform their functions for each workplace.

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.
