Injured workers were asked to rate six different people who may have helped or hindered (a lot or a little) getting them back to work including health professionals, those in the workplace and compensation providers. The proportion who identified each person is shown in the graph.
Work rehab coordinator - Around 60% injured employees identified the work rehab coordinator as helpful in their return to work. This proportion has been fairly static over the last three years, and in line with the national average.
Rehabilitation provider - Around 75% identified a Rehabilitation provider as helping their return to work, in line with the national average and much the same over the last three years.
Main supervisor - Around 50% of QLD employees advised their main supervisor was helpful in return to work, a proportion that has remained fairly static over the last three years and that is similar to to the national average.
Employer - Around 50% of QLD employees advised their employer was helpful in return to work, a proportion that has remained fairly static over the last three years and that is similar to to the national average.
Insurer - More than 50% of QLD workers thought that the insurer was helpful in return to work. Over the last three years this rate in QLD has been 5-10% higher than the national average, which has remained static.
Question: Now I am going to read a list of different people. For each person I would like you to tell me if they helped you get back to work, made it harder to go back to work or had no effect on you getting back to work.
