Over the last year the percentage of New Zealand claimants who have returned to work at some point between lodging their claim and the survey has dropped by 3%. This is now just under the Australian average rate.

The Current Return to Work Rate, that is the percentage of people at work at the time of the survey, was 78% in New Zealand this year. This is one tick above the Australian average and slightly lower than last year in New Zealand.

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.
