About Us

What’s it all about?  The what and why of Return to Work Matters.

Return To Work Matters is the professional resource for Return To Work Professionals. 

Many people play a part in this work and Return To Work Matters supports all of them.  Our focus begins with Return To Work Coordinators but includes:

  • Return to work coordinators
  • Rehabilitation consultants
  • OH&S managers
  • HR managers
  • Claims and case managers
  • Supervisors and line managers
  • Senior management
  • Small business owner / manager
  • Injured employees & their families
  • Coworkers

Return To Work Matters delivers tools, practical resources and interventions that are derived from evidence based research. Our team can and does give advice to members and we research problems at the request of members.  

Return To Work Matters is directed by individuals who have for decades been in leadership roles in Occupational Medicine, return to work facilitation, policy development and professional network support.

 

The Return to Work Matters Team

Publisher - Dr Mary Wyatt

Mary is a specialist Occupational Physician.  She knows enough about medicine to see it as less important that a person's beliefs, workplace attitude, and how systems work when it comes to return to work.

Mary's passion is to see better care of employees with health conditions, and provide access to the research that shows us how we can do better.  

She has been involved with many activities in the field; research, teaching, doctoring, mediating, and working to get research into practice. View CV
