Are you an experienced and proactive Injury Management Professional who is ready to make your mark working within an innovative People Learning Culture team?

Join our dynamic team as the Return-to-Work Specialist, where you will lead injury management initiatives across our Victorian sites.

About the Opportunity

In this role, you will utilise your expertise in end-to-end injury management, workers' compensation, and return-to-work strategies to drive positive recovery outcomes while ensuring compliance with legislative requirements. As the lead in this space, you will proactively identify areas for improvement, providing actionable recommendations and supporting leaders in implementation to promote best practice claim and injury management and drive measurable reductions in claims and associated costs.

You will also support the broader OHS/WHS initiatives across Victoria, hosting claims review meetings and participating in the OHS and OVA Committees at each site.

This position is vital in ensuring that injured employees receive appropriate care, return to work as efficiently as possible, and that injury risks are effectively managed across our Victorian operations.
