Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators play an important role in coordinating the support provided to injured employees during their recovery. Coordinators consult with the injured employee, treating doctor/s, health care professionals, supervisor and the relevant insurer (eg. WorkCover or QSuper) to negotiate suitable duties and develop rehabilitation plans. Their role is further defined in section 99B of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulations 2003.
Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators can access support, guidance and advice from their Regional Rehabilitation Consultant.
All schools and workplaces are required by the department to have a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator at each school/workplace, or for small schools/workplaces, access to a Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator. Information is available on training for rehabilitation and return to work coordinators.
Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators use a range of rehabilitation case management forms. Claim forms related to WorkCover, QSuper and leave are also available.
The workplace rehabilitation roles and responsibilities of Principals and Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators (RRTWCs) are outlined in the RRTWC Checklist 
282k.
Further details on the department's rehabilitation processes are available in the Department's Workplace Rehabilitation Procedure 
and Guidelines.
