Continuity of employer and duties

Continuity of employer and duties refers to injured workers who had returned to work at the same employer and carried out the same duties as prior to their injury

A majority of Victorian workers who do return to work return to the same employer and the same duties, with nearly two thirds doing so in 2008/09.  However, since 2005/06, when it was at more than three quarters, the proportion of workers to do so has fallen.

Over the same period, there has been a rise in the proportion of workers who return to the same employer but with different duties, from around 15% in 2005/06 to 20% in 2008/09. In 2008/09, less than 10% of Victorian workers returned to a different employer with the same duties, and a slightly lower proportion returned to a different employer with different duties.
