Each role will support one region: South East, North East, North West, and South West, supporting our principal class officers and complex workers compensation claims.
The Return to Work Coordination Team commenced in early 2023, aiming to provide person-centred, dedicated support to injured workers with workers' compensation claims, specifically targeting Principal claims, escalated and complex claims, and by staff from small schools.
The role of a return to work coordinator is to help schools and workplace managers support staff with workers compensation claims by acting as the return to work coordinator for the claim, to support injured workers to return to work in a safe and sustainable way, and to take on all the administrative and legislative requirements of return to work planning and coordination on behalf of the principal or workplace manager.
These roles relieve the administrative burden on principals, regional and school staff.
They also assist schools to build skills, knowledge, and understanding of workers compensation obligations, so that Department staff can focus more of their time on improving student learning outcomes.
The roles are critical to ensure that the department can meet its workers' compensation policy and legislative requirements.

High-level expertise dealing with more complex issues in a specialised support function.
Ability to drive team performance towards achieving set key performance indicators (KPIs).
While this role does not involve direct management responsibilities, it requires strong leadership skills to ensure both personal and team accountability.
The successful candidate will champion public sector values, adhere to performance standards, and support the team in achieving its goals by identifying potential roadblocks and implementing solutions.
Desirable Qualifications and Experience The successful candidate must have completed the Work Safe approved Return to Work Coordinator Training (or hold an equivalent qualification) and have a minimum of two years of recent experience working within workers compensation.
This role requires travel across the region to undertake school visits, and a current driver's licence is mandatory.
