VTHC Return to Work Unit
The Victorian Trades Hall Council
Return to Work Unit challenges the barriers that stop injured workers returning to full and meaningful employment.
A big part of the VTHC initiative is to provide training to workers and their representatives. The training includes practical tools, information and advice about injured workers’ rights to return to work:
- The return to work process
- The rights and responsibilities of all people involved in the RTW process.
- How flexibility can bring back skills
- How returning to work benefits workers, employers and the community
- Barriers to returning to work
Injured workers need support because:
- Many injured workers loose part of their income if they are unable to work?
- If a worker is so badly injured that they cannot return to work for an extensive period of time they can loose more than 25% of their income?
- Injured workers often suffer depression, isolation and relationship breakdown as a result of their work injury.
- Many in the workplace are unaware of the rights of injured workers to return to work.
Learn about the provisions for injured workers’ rights to return to work (so you can better assist injured workers). BOOK NOW for FREE TRAINING at the VTHC RETURN TO WORK Unit (see Training Schedule, below).
We can also provide FREE education and training about workers’ compensation and return to work issues in your workplace, union or community.
