Injured workers were asked to rate six different people who may have helped or hindered (a lot or a little) getting them back to work including health professionals, those in the workplace and compensation providers. The proportion who identified each person is shown in the graph.
Work rehab coordinator - 56% of injured NSW employees identified the work rehab coordinator as helpful in their return to work. This has not changed significantly over the last four years, and is in line with the national average. <- CANNOT FIND STATISTICS ON WORK REHAB COORDINATOR
Rehabilitation provider - 82% identified a Rehabilitation provider as helping their return to work, returning to 2007-08 figures, this is the first increase in the last 4 years.
Main supervisor - 48% of employees advised their main supervisor was helpful in return to work. After two consecutive years of improvement, a 6% drop has seen this figure go below the national average for the first time since 2008-09.
Employer - in 2011-12 employers were considered less likely to be helpful with RTW than the year before. The result in 2011-12 is less than the national average.
Doctor - in 2011-12 85% of employees said that their doctor helped with return to work. This is the highest it's been and is the first year in which this figure has polled above the national average.
Insurer - 44% of NSW injured employees indicated the insurer was helpful to their return to work, after a fluctuation from 2009-2011 this figure sits broadly back at 2008-09 rates, however, still remains under the national average.
Question: Now I am going to read a list of different people. For each person I would like you to tell me if they helped you get back to work, made it harder to go back to work or had no effect on you getting back to work.
