Getting people back to work after an injury is beneficial for their health and wellbeing. It encourages financial independence, improved physical functioning and better mental health.
The sooner someone returns to work after an injury, the better their chances of returning to their pre-injury life.
Return to Work Innovations is funding Victorian workforce and community initiatives that help improve recovery and return to work outcomes.
In this first round of funding, grants of up to $500,000 are available for initiatives that improve workers' return to work outcomes from the time a mental injury claim is lodged up to 26 weeks post claim acceptance.
