Summaries:
Last year 28% of injured workers surveyed throughout Australia and New Zealand
were not in paid employment six months after lodging a workers’ compensation claim.
Durable RTW rates have been falling consistently for the past 3 years with last year showing the lowest rates since
the survey began in 1997/98.
These statistics are drawn from the Heads of Workers’ Compensation Authorities’ annual RTW Monitor 2008/09 released on the 31st August 2009, however with the exception of Tasmania none of the states publish their year-by-year comparison of RTW performance.
In an attempt to bridge the gap, RTWMatters is analysing data from the last four RTW Monitor publications and
publishing an in-depth series of reports on RTW results, insurer performance, rehabilitation involvement and
workplace factors by each state / jurisdiction, highlighting how performance changes over time.
