Issue 9 Spring 2009

Welcome

Welcome to our ninth issue of Q-COMP Health Report, an
e-newsletter providing you with all the latest industry news and essential updates for allied health providers in the Queensland workers' compensation scheme.

In this issue, you'll find details on the clinical guidelines available for treating injured workers plus tips on how to effectively communicate with an injured worker's employer.

We've had a great response for our first ever Return to work awards with over 500 nominations received across the eight award categories.

You can view the amazing work of our finalists plus meet Queensland's key bodies in workers' compensation and workplace health and safety at this year's Work Safe and Return to work expo.

You would have noticed how we've changed the way we do business over the last year or so. I'm proud to announce our focus on being an open, innovative and customer-focused organisation was recently recognised as a state winner in the Australian Marketing Institute Awards.

I'm looking forward to receiving your feedback and your thoughts on any of our stories - you can post your comments live on the website.

See you at the Work Safe and Return to work expo.

Chief Executive Officer
