Length of durable RTW

 Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When RTW is successful, the injured worker will be in paid employment at the time of interview (just over six months after their claim).

 

Injured workers who had returned to work, and were still working at the time of the interview were asked to estimate how long they had been back at work. A longer period at work indicates an earlier durable RTW.

 

In 2008-09 QLD's average length of durable return to work rose to meet the Australian average, of approximately 140 days.

 

 

Question: How long have you been back at work?
