SBWS can help you to better understand Australia’s most complex and costly workers compensation scheme. Unfortunately, when it comes to workers compensation claims, very little ever happens quickly and more often than not, the claim just feels as though it is out of your hands.
But from 1 July 2015, the brand new Return to Work Act 2014 comes into operation.
So, just what will that mean for your business? And how will it impact on your premiums?
SBWS can help you to understand how the current and the new workers compensation scheme operate if one of your workers has made a claim. Stress claims can be particularly difficult to deal with.
SBWS can advise you on how to ensure that your concerns are heard if a claim is made against your business.
Returning injured workers to work is a primary objective of the current Scheme. But it will become an even more important objective under the new Return to Work Scheme from 1 July 2015. But depending on the circumstances, arbitrarily returning a worker to your business may not be good for the worker, or you as the employer. There are times when it is either illogical or impractical to force an employer to take an injured worker back.
SBWS can advise you how to go about building your case so that your concerns will be heard by WorkCover – meaning the best practicable outcome at the earliest time. That approach will allow everyone to move beyond the impact of the injury and allow you get back to building your business.
SBWS is all about identifying the optimal outcome at the earliest time!
