Length of durable RTW |

When RTW is successful, the injured worker will be in paid employment at the time of interview (just over six months after their claim).
Injured workers who had returned to work, and were still working at the time of the interview were asked to estimate how long they had been back at work. A longer period at work indicates an earlier durable RTW.
Since 2005-06 the average number of days injured NSW workers with a durable return to work had worked at the time of interview has fluctuated.
After 3 years of decline, 2011-12 is the second year of improvement. NSW employees returned to work 3.5 weeks earlier than two years ago.
Q. How long have you been back at work?
