Tasmania, traditionally a better performer in terms of return to work, has seen a general decline in return to work rates over the last five years. The decline in the Returned to Work Rate noted between 2008–09 and 2010–11 has returned. There has been a deterioration in the Current Return to Work Rate over the last 12 months.

The return to work results in Tasmania are now below the national average.

The Returned to Work Rate is the percentage of cases where the worker returned to work at some stage between the time of the lodging their claim and the time of the survey. They may or may not have remained at work.  The Returned to Work Rate is equivalent to the Return to Work Rate recorded in earlier versions of the Monitor.

The Current Return to Work Rate is the percentage of workers who had returned to work and were working at the time of the survey, 7 to 9 months after submitting their claim.   The Current Return to Work Rate is equivalent to the Durable Return to Work Rate reported in earlier versions of the monitor.
