Support return to work and suitable duties
Helping your injured worker return to work early has proven benefits – and your support plays a key role in this process.
If you have suitable duties available, you can work with the injured worker and their treating doctor to confirm what’s appropriate.
To get started:
- complete a Return to Work (RTW) Plan as soon as possible.
- keep a list of suitable duties ready – this helps GIO Claims Advisors, the worker, their doctor, and any rehab providers develop a plan quicker, and
- learn more about the Guidelines for Workplace Return to Work Programs.

GIO is an agent appointed by icare to deliver workers compensation claims management services to employers and workers in NSW.
In NSW, a worker for workers compensation purposes is 'a person who has entered into or works under a contract of service or a training contract with an employer…'.
Once notified of a claim (except for conduct related psychological claims), GIO has seven days to commence provisional liability payments. In some cases, however, GIO may have a “reasonable excuse” not to commence provisional liability weekly payments within this timeframe.
