Employer
An employer must take all reasonable steps to assist or provide
an injured worker with rehabilitation for the period for which the
worker is entitled to compensation. The rehabilitation must be of a
suitable standard as prescribed
under the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Regulation
2003.
Generally, the employer will offer suitable duties and graduated
return to work programs, as appropriate.
Worker
A worker must satisfactorily participate in rehabilitation:
- as soon as they can after the injury is sustained
- for the period for which the worker is entitled to
compensation.
This generally includes attending and participating in
appropriate treatment programs as well as suitable duties or
graduated return to work programs.
