What is an Approved Workplace Rehabilitation Provider?
Approved Workplace Rehabilitation Providers, such as Pace National, have the qualifications, experience and expertise to maintain injured workers at work, or return them to work following an injury. The costs of their services are covered within your workers’ compensation claim.
What are my obligations in the return to work process?
Injured workers should fully participate and cooperate with their employer, medical practitioner and rehabilitation provider in the development of a return to work program.
