Supporting employers

Protecting your people and your business

We understand the disruption workplace injuries can cause.

We’re here to take care of your team and your business. As Australia’s largest and oldest
workers compensation claims provider, we help workplaces of all sizes across Victoria
to minimise the risk of injury and maximise return-to-work outcomes.

For your workers, our mobile case managers provide face-to-face support to ensure
they get the care they need to recover and return to work faster. For your business, we
manage your WorkCover claims, helping to control injury costs and reduce the impact
on your insurance premium.

With the Mutual Benefits Program, we take our support even further, providing free
health and safety resources, tools, and training to transform your business and improve
long-term safety. Ensuring you have a stronger, more resilient workplace that protects
your most valuable asset – your people.

Doing more than just the basics

Our claims model in Victoria has been refined using insights from our Australia-wide exposure to workforce trends and industry best practice. In addition to specialist roles like RTW Specialists, Mental Health Specialists and Legal Specialists, our service model is propelled by innovations that enhance the recovery process and empower our front-line staff to deliver claims management activity which really makes a difference.

In-house pharmacists

Recognising the escalating challenge posed by rising pharmacy costs, increased prescription of opioid medications, and the growing rates of addiction and misuse, we took decisive action by integrating two experienced pharmacists into our team. Our In-house Pharmacists work with the worker and their GP to educate about the risks of strong pain medications and exploring other pain management options.

Transition support service

We’ve developed a tailored service to make it easier for long-term injured workers to transition from the workers compensation scheme. Our specialists work closely with injured workers, taking a whole-of-person approach to help them prepare for change. The service incorporates career and financial counselling, housing support, mental health services and fostering social and community connections.

Recovery case management

This tailored service identifies and helps to address the unique barriers which impact someone’s recovery to help them get their lives back, and prevent long term complex claims. Our Recovery Case Managers connect injured workers to a range of specialist support services – such as financial, housing, family and counselling support – so they can focus on their recovery. This service is particularly effective when returning to work is not the immediate goal, ensuring workers receive the holistic care they need.

Fatigue is More Than Tiredness

Fatigue is now recognised within psychosocial hazard frameworks, not just as a physical safety issue but as a psychological risk factor. Ongoing workload pressure, long hours, mental load, and emotional strain can erode coping capacity, judgement, and wellbeing. This session helps leaders recognise fatigue as an early risk indicator.

Decoding Intangible Factors: Maximise Return to Work Outcomes

Why do two workers with the same injury have vastly different recovery outcomes? The answer lies in the psychosocial landscape.

Role of the Return to Work Coordinator (VIC)

Host : Workplace Interventions

Understanding Biopsychosocial Risk Factors and Assessments

Successful recovery after a workplace injury is influenced by more than the diagnosis or severity of injury. Research consistently demonstrates that psychosocial factors often have a greater impact on recovery and return-to-work outcomes than the physical injury itself. This session provides employers, RTW coordinators and supervisors with practical knowledge to identify psychosocial risk factors that may delay recovery, understand the purpose of biopsychosocial assessments, and implement workplace strategies that support recovery and durable return-to-work outcomes.
