Reasons for not feeling ready to return to work

All injured workers who returned to work but reported that they did not feel ready to RTW were asked why they did not feel ready. Multiple responses were accepted.

Around four in five injured Victorian workers who had returned to work without feeling ready to do so reported that the main reason for their unreadiness was that they were still injured or in pain. Around one in ten reported that employer / insurer or doctor pressure made them feel unready return, and another one in ten reported that the duties or hours they were offered were not appropriate.
