How do I change my subscriber information?
If you want to change your subscription information, such as email address or password, you’ll need to log in first.  Then click on My Account along the top right of the home page, make your changes and click SUBMIT.

I can’t remember my password?
You’ll find a Forgotten Password link in the top right corner of the homepage or on the page you’ll be redirected to if you’ve entered incorrect log in details. Click it, enter your registered email address and your password will be sent to you. If you no longer have access to that email account, email admin@rtwmatters.org with up to date contact details.

I’m an existing subscriber having trouble logging into the site.
If your email address is in our system and you are a basic or premium subscriber, you can try resetting your password. If you are prompted to renew upon logging in, either your subscription has expired, or you are receiving the newsletter only subscription which allows you to access the free content available on the website through the newsletter. If you wish to access any basic or premium subscriber content, you will need to upgrade by following the renewal prompts and selecting a paid subscription option. If you are sure you have a paid subscription, please check you are using the correct email address. Have you got a redirect from another email address to your inbox? Perhaps the original account was set up with your organization’s generic or your predecessor’s email address.  If you are still unable to log in, please contact us and we'll assist you in gaining access. 

If you have shared your individual subscription log in details with anyone else you may find you are able to log in but are being logged out automatically.  There is a system in place that doesn’t allow for simultaneous log-ins on the one account from many computers. If you are logged in, and someone else logs in using your account, you will be logged out automatically.  Attempting to log back in will log out the other person and a circle of logging in and being signed out will occur.  Individual subscriptions are not meant to be shared, to avoid this happening again, you should change your password under My Account once logged in.  To upgrade to a group subscription so all subscribers of your team can utilize the website, please email admin@rtwmatters.org .

I just paid for my subscription but it says I’m an expired subscriber, how do I gain access?
Occasionally, when paying by credit card, the connection with the bank can time out or an error may occur. In this case, 99% of the time, the funds have not been taken off your credit card. In this case, your Return to Work Matters account will be set up but inactive (expired).  You can confirm that the transaction failed with admin@rtwmatters.org or your bank.   To attempt the transaction again, please log in using your email address and password at the top right corner of the homepage and you’ll be prompted to complete the transaction.

If you have paid by direct deposit or cheque, we usually activate your account within 24 hours of receipt of funds.  To ensure that your account is activated as soon as possible, please email notification of payment to admin@rtwmatters.org .

What form of payment do you accept for joining or renewing?
We accept the following credit cards through our secure eWay payment gateway: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners. We also accept Paypal, direct deposit or cheque.  When selecting direct deposit or cheque on the subscription page, you will be emailed an invoice with our address and banking details.  

My employer needs an invoice prior to approving payment. How do I organise this?
If you select direct deposit or cheque on the subscription page, you will be emailed a tax invoice which you can submit for approval.  The invoice will have our banking details and address but if you wish to pay this invoice by credit card, we do accept card details over the telephone for Australian subscribers.

Alternatively, contact admin@rtwmatters.org and a customized invoice can be sent to you.

How do I get a receipt for my transaction?
You should have received a tax invoice / receipt via email upon payment, however if you did not receive it, or have misplaced it, please email admin@rtwmatters.org with your request.

How do I receive my bonus eBooks?
You should have received a welcome email with your account details and links to the welcome gifts upon payment. We recommend saving the eBooks to your computer in case you misplace or delete the email.  If you did not receive them, or would like them resent, please email admin@rtwmatters.org with your request.  

How do I start / stop receiving my weekly newsletter?
You can start / stop receiving the weekly newsletter anytime you like. Just log in, click on My Account in the top right corner of the homepage and tick / untick “I am happy to receive newsletters from rtwmatters.org.

The default setting ensures you begin receiving your newsletter as soon as you join.  If you have not been receiving your weekly newsletter and the box under My Account is ticked, please check that you have entered the correct email address on your account. Due to the newsletter being a mass mail out, some security settings can classify the email as junk mail. You should check your junk mail folder and mark us as a safe sender if this has occurred. If it is not in your junk folder, you should request that your IT department add www.rtwmatters.org to the safe domain list on the server.

Is my subscription transferable?
Yes. If your subscription was purchased for the person in your role and you are leaving the organisation, you can edit the account details under “My Account” once logged in. You can also use this function to change the email address to any new email addresses that you may have.

I’m trying to join but it says my email address already exists, what do I do?
This means you have been a subscriber of Return to Work Matters at some point and are probably expired. Perhaps this was a free trial, an opt-in at a conference or as part of a group subscription. You can simply log in using your email address and the password you were registered with (click forgotten password to retrieve it) and you will be prompted to renew as an individual subscriber. If you wish to be added to a group subscription please email admin@rtwmatters.org for assistance.  

I’m getting the newsletter from you, does that mean I am a full subscriber of Return to Work Matters?
Not necessarily. Expired subscribers will still receive our newsletters but can only access the free content available in the newsletter.  If you don’t remember paying for a subscription in the past, this could be because you signed up for the free newsletter or a free trial at some point. To become a full subscriber and access the many resources on the site, just log in using your email address and the password you were registered with (click forgotten password to retrieve it) and you will be prompted to renew as an individual subscriber. If you wish to be added to a group subscription please email admin@rtwmatters.org for assistance.
