Occupational Rehabilitation
Service Provider Directory
Occupational rehabilitation is relevant to both employers and injured workers.
Employers are required to put in place an Employer Occupational Rehabilitation Program which outlines their commitments to assisting injured workers back to work.
For injured workers, there is a number of specific return to work services known as occupational rehabilitation (OR) services to assist them back to work which can only be delivered by OR providers approved by WorkSafe.
What type of occupational rehabilitation (OR) services are approved by an agent for a worker depends on whether the return to work (RTW) focus is to help them back to work with their injury employer or if that is not possible then returning them to work with a new employer.
OR services are most usually delivered at the workplace of the injury or new employer.
A worker is required to participate in OR services to remain entitled to weekly benefits.
A request for OR services can be made by the worker or the worker’s treating health care provider or their employer however, the WorkSafe Agent responsible for managing the worker’s claim must approve the OR service before it is offered or provided to a worker.
An OR service can be approved by a WorkSafe Agent for an injured worker although a decision about claim liability has not been made.
