Workplace Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator

RRTWC Certificate of Completion

Upon successful completion, students will receive a RRTWC training course certificate of completion, stating they have completed a course approved by the Queensland Workers’ Compensation Regulator to provide RRTWCs with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the functions of the RRTWC role as prescribed in the Queensland legislation.

Should students wish to receive the nationally recognised Statement of Attainment (SOA) for BSBWHS417, which assists with managing the WHS implications of return to work, they will need to complete an additional short RRTWC Gap Assessment and pay a fee of $150.

For booking, please follow the link: RRTWC GAP ASSESSMENT

If you are only required to show evidence of your training and competence to be an RRTWC in Qld, you do not need the SOA.

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the management of injured workers in Queensland according to the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 QLD & Regulation 2014 QLD.

There is no recognition of prior learning for a Workers’ Compensation Regulator approved course.

It is the responsibility of the employer to ensure their Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator is appropriately qualified and competent to carry out their role as per S.226 of the Act. It is also the responsibility of the RRTWC to understand the principles of managing injured workers with reference to the legislation and best practice injury management principles and be able to fulfil the Functions of a RRTWC as per Reg 114 of the Regulation.

OHSA is the No. 1 provider of this course in Qld. Over the past 10 years, we have trained over 5,000 RRTW Coordinators. Our trainers have Postgraduate Allied Health Qualifications and extensive experience managing workplace injuries. This ensures that we can offer good advice on difficult cases you may currently be experiencing.

ZOOM Course:  Can’t attend a face to face session?  Consider attending our facilitated Zoom course.  A working webcam and microphone will be required for Zoom courses to allow interaction and participation in role plays.
