CEDoW’s Return To Work Program (CEDoW RTW Program) will come into effect on 27 Feburary, 2025. Access by clicking here.
The CEDoW RTW Program outlines CEDoW’s injury management and return to work process and is relevant for all CEDoW staff who have sustained an injury or illness at work allowing them an entitlement to worker’s compensation benefits.
The purpose of the CEDoW RTW Program is to set out the operational processes and actions that give effect to CEDoW’s commitment to achieving a prompt and durable return to and recovery at work for staff who experience a work-related injury or illness. The overall aim of the CEDoW RTW Program is to ensure the prompt and durable recovery and return to work of staff following an injury or illness.
In line with evidence-based practice, CEDoW believes that returning to work early or staying at work is the most effective way to recover from an injury/illness. CEDoW is committed to promoting a positive attitude toward staff recovering at work and the health benefits of meaningful work.
Action: Please engage with the ongoing opportunities for training and familiarisation with the key elements of the program.
If you have any questions about the CEDoW RTW Program please contact Susan Phillipson, Team Leader - Workplace Safety and Wellbeing, People & Culture - 0438 528 360.
