How to apply
- Notify your employer of your workplace injury and lodge a workers compensation claim with ReturnToWorkSA or your employer's insurer.
- If you are likely to be away from work for more than four weeks, your mobile claims manager or Return to Work Coordinator will initiate the planning process.
- Download the 'Recovery and return to work plan' PDF from the RTWSA forms page at rtwsa.com/publications/forms.
- Complete the plan collaboratively with your employer and claims manager, documenting your recovery goals, required treatment, and support services.
- If a phased reintegration is needed, also complete the 'Graduated return to work schedule' form (available from the same forms page) and obtain your treating doctor's approval before commencing.
- Sign and share the finalised plan with all parties — injured worker, employer, treating doctor, and claims manager.
- Review the plan regularly and update it as your recovery progresses until you reach your return to work goal.
- Contact RTWSA on 13 18 55 or info@rtwsa.com if you need assistance completing or lodging the plan.
