Return-to-Work & Suitable Duties
If your injured worker is incapacitated for more than 5 days, a Return-to-Work (RTW) plan or Injury Management Plan (IMP) must be completed. The RTW Plan and IMP should be tailored to suit the particular needs of the injured worker.
RTW Plans are required if the worker's incapacity (partial or total) will last more than 5 business days but less than 28 days. You must send us a copy of your RTW Plan and offer of suitable employment each time you revise it or develop a new plan. Please fax all documentation to 03 6223 4174. For more information, please refer to the GIO Injury Management Program for Tasmania.
Suitable duties are developed in consultation with the injured worker's nominated treating doctor and must consider the worker's current work capacity and medical advice. Please refer to the WorkCover Tasmania Register of Alternate Duties within the Workplace guide for more information.
