Return to work Conference and Expo comes to Townsville

The North Queensland Return to work Conference builds on the momentum of the sell-out event held annually in Brisbane and will take place at the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre on Tuesday 27 March 2012.

 

Delegates will have unrivalled access to thought-provoking presentations and workshops on the latest innovations in the workers' compensation industry. And if you are a rehabilitation and return to work coordinator (RRTWC) your attendance at the Conference can be used to extend your registration by three years from the date of the Conference!

So what does the research say?

We've recently established the Q-COMP research committee (QRC) to help oversee and manage projects, requests and initiatives funded by Q-COMP. All projects must aim to further our knowledge and understanding of the workers' compensation scheme with tangible outcomes.
