Managing the relationship with an injured or ill worker during return to work

Safe Work Australia have developed resources that provide advice for supervisors on how to stay in touch with an injured or ill worker and keep their team informed. They also contain practical guidance on how to make changes to the workplace and/or workers duties to help them return to work sooner or stay at work while they recover.

The following resources can be found on the Safe Work Australia website.:

• Safe Work Australia’s Practical tools to support supervisors and improve return to work outcomes of injured or ill workers
• Safe Work Australia’s Managing the relationship with an injured or ill worker during return to work: A guide for supervisors in small and medium businesses.

These resources were developed as initiatives under the National Return to Work Strategy 2020–2030
