Steps to becoming accredited with Q-COMP

The process for workplace rehabilitation accreditation has recently been streamlined as of 1 July 2011.

In order to achieve workplace accreditation for your company's rehabilitation policy and procedures, you simply need to complete Form 100.1R and submit it to Q-COMP.

This form is a simple declaration that the rehabilitation policy and procedures implemented within the organisation are in line with the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003. Due to this change, no additional documentation is required for review in order to achieve workplace accreditation.

It is imperative that the workplace rehabilitation policy and procedures remain readily available to all staff within the organisation. Please ensure that all workplace rehabilitation documentation is kept up to date in case the organisation is selected for a random audit.

If you currently hold workplace rehabilitation accreditation which is due to expire shortly, all you need to do is complete and submit form 100.1R.
