It is a requirement under NSW Workers Compensation and Injury Management legislation for Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU’s) to have in place a Return To Work Program consistent with WorkCover guidelines. For many this means having a Return To Work Coordinator who has completed the Introduction to Return To Work Coordination course, delivered by a WorkCover Approved Trainer.
