Employers

Someone becomes injured or ill because of work

Step 4: Start planning for return to work

When you know a worker is injured and can't perform their normal duties, it's important to start planning and provide them with return to work information.

If your injured worker has visited the doctor, the doctor may call you to talk about options to help them return to work as soon as safely possible.

Workers

Your worker should tell you if they want to make a WorkCover claim

They will need to fill out the worker's injury claim form and give it to you to complete the employer section. You need to acknowledge that you've received the claim form in writing – you can do this by completing the employer section of the worker's injury claim form and giving the worker a copy.

Before you make a claim:

Certificate of capacity

Making a Claim

https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/resources/workers-injury-claim-form

You should follow the same process if you receive a dependent's claim for compensation form.

If you don't ready have a Return to Work Coordinator, you're required to appoint one.

It's important to appoint someone that's empowered to speak on your behalf (or on behalf of the employer), make return to work related decisions and help you meet your return to work obligations.

Session 5 - BSBIPR401 An introduction to Copyright

What is Copyright? In Australia, copyright law is contained in the Commonwealth Copyright Act 1968 (Copyright Act). A simple definition of copyright is that it is a bunch of rights in certain creative works such as text, artistic works, music, computer programs, sound recordings and films.

Copyright owners can prevent others from reproducing or communicating their work without their permission or may sell these rights to someone else. Copyright does not protect ideas, concepts, styles or techniques. For example, copyright will not protect an idea for a film or book, but it will protect a script for the film or even a storyboard for the film.
