ClubCOLLECTIVE December 2022
It is a requirement of the Workers Compensation legislation that all employers must have a RTW program describing their Workers Compensation Management processes. State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) have specific criteria that they need to see included in these RTW programs, so Club Employers Mutual (CEM) have created templates for our policy holders to make this process as simple as possible. SIRA updated the guidelines as recently as March 2021.
Category 1 Employers are those with 20 or more employees and the RTW Program is relatively complex. A copy of the CEM template can be downloaded from the CEM website.
Category 2 Employers are those with less than 20 employees and these employers can use the standard template document included on the SIRA website.
If the inspectors from SafeWork NSW visit your club, the two documents they will almost certainly ask to view would be:
- Workers Compensation Certificate of Currency
- RTW Program.
It is therefore important that all policy holders have these documents, and they are current.
Is your Return to Work Coodinator trained? SIRA has rewritten its RTW Coordinator training and it is now an easy, free, e-learning process that should take a total of approx 5.5 hours. A summary of the training is available on ClubsWHS, our WHS online portal.
