Forty-five of Queensland's most deserving rehabilitation and return
to work coordinators, insurer case managers, employers and injured
workers have been recognised as finalists in Q-COMP's Return to
work Awards.
The awards, which are being held in October on the evening of
Queensland's first Return to work Conference and Expo, recognise
the outstanding achievements by industry professionals and
businesses who have gone above and beyond in helping injured
workers return to work.
The inspiring efforts of workers are recognised too, with their
stories of strength, determination and courage in returning to
their jobs after a workplace injury.

finalists.
Close to 500 nominations were received from across the state,
describing new initiatives, creative ideas and practices, and
humbling personal journeys.
Elizabeth Woods, Chief Executive Officer for Q-COMP, says the
finalists are fantastic examples of the outstanding work the awards
seek to recognise.
"Our awards showcase the state's best in workplace rehabilitation
and return to work practices, giving these deserving individuals
and businesses the attention of the industry.
"All finalists have been recognised for taking an approach fitting
with the theme of this year's awards: 'Above and Beyond', which
celebrates the essential work undertaken to develop and improve a
strong return to work culture plus commends the courageous journey
an injured worker takes to return to their job."
The winners, who will receive up to $2,000 in prize money, will be
announced on the evening of the Return to work Conference and Expo
on 26 October 2010.
The Return to work Conference and Expo is open to anyone who has an
active interest in the workers' compensation industry.
