LGIS receives over 700 workers' compensation claims every year for our local government members. On average it takes 45-60 days for an injured worker to return following an injury. We know that the longer a worker is away from work, the more likely their claim will develop complications or they may leave entirely.

This one-day comprehensive workshop is for anyone who would like to improve their knowledge of the workers' compensation and return to work process. It is also important for staff members involved in roles of injury management, human resources, and work, health and safety.

The workshop includes:

Introduction to workers' compensation
What is injury management?
LGIS' role in managing a claim and getting a claimant back to work
The role of injury prevention and health and wellbeing services
The psychology of a claim
Understanding your role in a worker's journey to recovery
How to talk to people in your organisation about workers' compensation?
How to develop and manage a return to work program?

Cost: $150 per person (+GST)
