Accreditation: This is a non-accredited awareness course. It builds general understanding of injury management and return-to-work principles and does not issue a unit of competency. It is not a substitute for the accredited or regulator-approved Return to Work (or Rehabilitation and Return to Work) Coordinator training required in some states and territories, and it does not qualify you to manage workers-compensation claims or give medical advice. Workers-compensation entitlements and obligations are set by your state or territory scheme. Always check the requirements that apply where you work.
