Safe Work Australia has published an independent research report by Monash University titled “Early Intervention in the Workers’ Compensation Process.”

This report evaluates various early intervention approaches in Australia’s workers’ compensation system, focusing on methods to reduce recovery times and enhance return-to-work outcomes for injured workers.

The research involved consultations with stakeholders from the workers’ compensation and return-to-work sectors, an environmental scan, and a review of both national and international literature.

The findings will contribute to the National Return to Work Strategy 2020–2030.
