2024 professional development opportunities

Elevate your rehabilitation and return to work knowledge in 2024.

Best practice

Continue to improve and build your rehabilitation and return to work coordinator (RRTWC) capacity and knowledge by participating in professional development activities.

Why this is important

A capable and confident RRTWC can increase the likelihood of an injured worker’s early and safe recovery and return to work.

In turn, this improves health, social and financial outcomes for injured workers and business productivity. It also reduces costs for your organisation.

In 2023, 2,700 people completed an approved RRTWC training course in Queensland.

It's a role that needs strong soft skills, as reflected in four of the five National Return to Work Strategy action areas.

Professional development can help you improve communication skills, self-reflection strategies, injury management and return to work planning.
