Advocate - It Pays to Care

Tom's passion for Return to Work and Employment Services is amplified by his work as an advocate for the 'It Pays to Care' policy approach.

The approach is grounded in two parts* -

Systems should be adapted to capture psychosocial information for individual claims and proactively manage psychosocial risks by providing injured workers, workplaces, and healthcare providers with timely support according to need.
We must ensure that scheme cultures, systems and processes do not create unnecessary barriers to recovery, but instead encourage positive psychosocial factors (those known to assist recovery and RTW), whilst reducing negative psychosocial factors (those known to slow recovery and RTW).
