About this listen
In this episode of The Safety Spotlight, host Lish Fayer discusses workplace injury, workers' compensation, and the return-to-work journey with Alistair Grant, President of the Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association (ARPA) and occupational therapist behind the Good to Go program, Peggy Cheong, the Acting ACT Work Health and Safety Commissioner.
They explore the scale of work-related injury in Australia and examine why getting injured workers back into meaningful employment remains so challenging. The episode delves into the two types of workers' compensation schemes, the growing burden of psychological injury claims, and the critical role of early employer support in improving return-to-work outcomes.
