RTWMatters Ltd is an independent non-profit charity with the purpose of advancing health and education in Australia, including by promoting positive change and leadership in the area of the prevention and consequences of work related injury and illness.
What we stand for
Our key objective is to support those who support RTW, connecting, validating and motivating you and your team.
Looking after injured workers has benefits for their recovery and return to work; and for businesses.
Those who support others, including RTW professionals who look after injured workers, need to be supported in turn.
We believe that positive change is on the horizon in terms of RTW, injury management and workplace well-being - and we want to hurry things along a little!
What we do
We provide evidence-based insights, up-to-date research summaries, and practical advice that is backed by academic rigour.
We empower RTW professionals with the skills and confidence to manage workplace injuries in a way that deliver better results for injured workers and the bottom line.
We’re a voice for all players in the industry: RTW professionals, treating practitioners, workers, researchers and policymakers.
Who we are
RTW Matters is published by Dr Mary Wyatt, an occupational physician who’s been active in clinical practice, research, teaching doctors and policy development. Mary and the team operate independently of employers and government authorities and are not afraid to challenge the status quo.
