Workplace rehabilitation is a process for assisting injured employees during their recovery to achieve an early, safe and sustained return to meaningful and productive work.
The process and accountabilities for all employees, workplace managers/Principals and other key stakeholders are detailed in the Department of Education, Training and Employment Workplace Rehabilitation Procedure 
.
The Department's rehabilitation case management forms can be found at the bottom of the Workplace Rehabilitation Procedure.
The Department has a legislative obligation to provide rehabilitation to employees with an accepted WorkCover claim. Additionally, rehabilitation programs may also be provided to assist employees with non work-related injuries return to work.
