Rehabilitation Report, Spring 2011
Welcome to the Spring edition of the Rehabilitation Report, the
last before the Return to work Conference, Expo and Awards in
October.
In this edition, we look at some recent research findings
relevant to workplace rehabilitation, discuss what Q-COMP is doing
to meet the needs of Queensland's regional communities, and share
the return to work story of a Mackay woman who went from a
supermarket shelf-stacker to an accredited trainer after a
workplace injury.
Also in this edition, we celebrate the Finalists of the Return
to work Awards 2011, 46 individuals and organisations who are
helping to build a strong return to work culture in Queensland.
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts via the comments
section or an email to comms@qcomp.com.au
