Description

The inaugural National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030 (the Strategy) drives action to improve return to work outcomes for ill and injured workers. The Strategy aims to minimise the impact of work-related injury and illness, and enable workers to have a safe, durable and timely return to work. The National Return to Work (NRTW) Survey is a key data source guiding the Strategy’s delivery and will assist us to measure progress throughout its 10-year life.


The NRTW Survey results provide valuable insights for workers’ compensation authorities and other key stakeholders into the return to work process and factors that may influence return to work outcomes. The survey gives us a better understanding of the lived experiences of ill and injured workers returning to work, including the important role of the supervisor, co-workers and other supports.
