Public sector employees who are injured at work are covered by the Return To Work Act 2014.
Working together reduces the human and financial impact of workplace injuries. Effective communication and collaboration between claims managers, return to work providers, employers, employees and medical practitioners, supports injured workers to return to the workplace as safely and quickly as possible.
