Employer information on claims and rehabilitation

An employer has many roles in the claims process when an employee submits a claim for a work-related injury or illness.

Employers have responsibilities for the rehabilitation of employees with work-related injury or illness.

What's involved in getting your employees with a work-related illness or injury back to work.

Our Customer Information System (CIS) gives you information on your organisation's claims performance and injury management.

Providing suitable employment is an important step in the return to work process.

Reasonable adjustments reduce barriers to work and is your responsibility, as the employer.

This team assists rehabilitation case managers, supervisors, workplace rehabilitation providers and employees with claims.

Case conferences are an opportunity to discuss and plan individual claims.

Comcare recommends that rehabilitation authorities (who are usually the employer) develop and maintain a rehabilitation management system.

This system can help you meet obligations under legislation and can provide better rehabilitation services to employees.

Your organisation can take on its own claims management responsibilities.

Workplace rehabilitation providers offer specialised services and expertise in supporting injured employees recover at or return to work.
