Injury Management
RMIT University’s main focus is always on preventing accidents from occurring in the workplace but when an accident does occur, it’s simply good practice to effectively manage the impact on both the individuals involved and the University. Effective management means assisting injured workers back to a full and productive life as quickly as possible, controlling workers compensation costs and reducing associated financial risks and exposure.
There is plenty of information available to help employers and employees understand the Victorian Accident Compensation (WorkCover) system.
