Share with your members

We’re improving how we support employers with their injured workers’ recovery and return to work. From mid-May 2026, we’ll introduce a new rehab and return-to-work plan called the My Recovery Plan.

It’s shorter, clearer, and focused on recovery and safe return to work.

Employer associations play an important role in helping members understand this change.

WorkCover is introducing a clearer recovery plan for employers

From mid-May 2026, WorkCover Queensland will introduce a shorter rehab and return-to-work plan called the My Recovery Plan.

The My Recovery Plan:

  • is shorter
  • shows clear next steps
  • includes recovery and return-to-work goals, where relevant
  • helps keep employers, workers and treatment providers aligned.

You can use the My Recovery Plan to talk with your workers about recovery and safe return to work. It works with your existing return-to-work or suitable duties plans.

Need help?
