Work plays a major role in our health and wellbeing. In addition, the cost burden on employers as a result of the loss of skilled staff through injury and delays in their return to work is enormous. 

This program of work about supporting people with an injury to return to work will:

- develop and validate indicators that measure the rates, efficiency and effectiveness of return to work following intervention:

- assess the efficiency and effectiveness of components within vocational injury compensation and regulation;

- develop evidence-based models of efficient and effective health and disability services delivery for the personal injury compensation sector;

- develop efficient and effective interventions for the management of persistent pain and mental health conditions following compensable injury.
