National Return to Work Survey Data

The National Return to Work Survey (NRTWS) aims to improve understanding of return to work outcomes and experiences for injured workers receiving workers’ compensation, as well as the return to work process and experience from the perspective of employers. 

Results from the survey help in measuring progress made towards the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030’s vision: to ‘Minimise the impact of work-related injury and illness and enable workers to have a timely, safe and durable return to work’.
