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 - 60% injured Victorian 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.
Rehabilitation provider - 75% identified a Rehabilitation provider as helping their return to work, a gradual drop over the last three years and now very close to the national average.
Main supervisor - 46% of employees advised their main supervisor was helpful in return to work. A steady downward trend has occurred over the last four years, from 51 to the current 46%, and the result is now below the national average.
Employer - In 2009-10 employers were considered to be more helpful with RTW, reversing the downward trend. The results in 2009-10 are the same as the national average.
Doctor - in 2009-10 just under 80% of employees considered their doctor helped with return to work. This is the same as four years ago, and slightly above the national rate.
Insurer - 41% of Victorian injured employees indicated the insurer was helpful to their return to work, up two percent over the last four years but still lower than 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.
