A faster and sustainable return to work
Our Early Intervention service aims to minimise the gap in returning to work through immediate action and education
For both employers and employees, the impact of workplace injury and illness can be dramatic. Our Early Intervention Service aims to minimise the impacts through reducing workplace absences caused by injury.
Specifically targeted at claims 0-6 weeks old, the key objectives of our Early Intervention Service are:
- To reduce the delay in returning to work
- To increase employer and worker engagement and education surrounding the Return to Work Process
Our service consists of immediate action to assess and overcome barriers to initial return to work to reduce costs to the employer and insurer. The service can be delivered face-to-face or by telephone – either way, our results are well above industry average.
“With a focus on early intervention, in building rapport and trust with our workers and the return to work coordinators, we have seen a significant reduction in time loss and claims cost.”
