Your injury management team is sent a report detailing appropriate next steps for the workplace to assist recovery.
If required, an Employ health physiotherapist provides a follow up Rapid Response call to review the workers progress.

HR Manager QLD/NSW A&L Windows and Doors
As a business we strive to be proactive in managing the health, safety and wellbeing of all our employees. We utilise Rapid Response Physio to ensure our Service and Transport staff are cared for even when they are away from the office. Previously when workers were injured while away from the office the first we might hear about an injury is when they return to the office with Workcover forms. Now, our team gets a rehab plan sent to their smartphone from the physio, and we can implement the right suitable duties if needed fast, to help them get better fast.
