Launching the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030

Return to Work Strategy - Launch

Diane Smith-Gander

On behalf of Safe Work Australia members, I'm pleased to launch the National Return to Work Strategy. This is a 10 year plan to minimise the impact of work-related injury and illness and help workers return to work safely, permanently, and at the right time.

Workers are at the heart of the strategy. They're the focus of the strategy's, vision, outcomes, and guiding principles. The strategy's five action areas focus on supporting workers and helping key stakeholders to do the same. We need collaboration to drive national action to make a real difference.

This strategy is available on the Safe Work Australia website. It takes effect in January. Stay tuned for more information on what you can do to make a difference.
