Most people injured at work return to work within a few days but those with more serious injuries may need help through rehabilitation.

The support provided to an injured person may include a graduated return to work, workplace based rehabilitation or retraining for a different job.

Rehabilitation works best where:

• employers actively participate - research shows that keeping in touch with the workplace assists people to recover faster; and
• doctors, rehabilitation providers, insurers, unions, employers and the injured person all work together.
