Return to Work Coordinator certificate training

Businesses who employ more than 30 workers for three or more months are required to appoint a certified return to work coordinator who has completed a training course approved by ReturnToWorkSA. This training provides participants with an understanding of the role, functions and responsibilities of a return to work coordinator. Participants will be provided with tools and resources to assist with:

  • preparing the workplace
  • what to do when a worker is injured
  • effective communication
  • identifying return to work barriers and facilitators.

A certificate is obtained upon successfully completing training. There is no requirement for certified return to work coordinators who have previously completed an approved course to undertake ‘refresher’ training.

ReturnToWorkSA has approved the following providers to deliver this course:
