Informa Australia is delighted to announce the 23rd Annual National Workers Compensation Summit, 16 – 17 May 2022 held at The Crown Melbourne.
Since March 2020, there has been 3000 COVID related workers compensation claims in Australia. With an estimated cost of COVID related claims for both psychological and physical injury being $16.6 million and future projections to cost the economy $78 million, it is imperative for employers to review safety processes to reduce injuries within the workplace.
This timely conference will address solutions to your critical needs including topics like:
- Progressing the National RTW Strategy 2020-2030
- Mental health best practice and provide a culture of care
- How will unvaccinated injured workers affect claims process
- How to manage recovery and return to work during COVID
- What are the legislation changes for psychological treatments?
This event will be delivered in-person and virtually. Face to face delegate fees includes admission to the conference dinner on day one.
