Interested in having your say about Return to Work Coordinator training? Does the level of training on offer provide you with enough skills to perform your duties to the best of your abilities?

Return to Work Matters recently published an article on this study - Helping them help you.

Hi i think that if you are in a full time role doing rehabilitation and injuury management, you should to able to be RPL'ed - I could teach the course and its a waste of my time going back to elementary principles of injury management. Perhaps do a 'catch up' session on changes to the legislation, but the whole recertification course is a waste of time for someone who does it every day.

Advanced training for experienced RRTWC's such as exploring legal requirements or business goals or Human Resource requirements for long term injured workers. Setting up the files for possible Common Law or PIPA claims and how to take a professional statement. These are just a few things I am interested in learning.
