Fit for work and worker’s compensation
South West WorkCare Forum | Wednesday 30 August, 2023
Join the LGIS injury management team for a comprehensive, oneday workshop on the employers’ role in getting injured workers back to work following a workers’ compensation claim.
On average it takes 45-60 days for an injured worker to return following an injury. We know that the longer a worker is away from work, the more likely their claim will develop complications or they may leave entirely.
Local government employers play a vital role in the return to work and injury management process. An engaged employer supports a worker’s return, affirming the individual’s value and the contribution they make.
Booking details available on the LGIS website under Events section and on our LinkedIn page.
Cost: $150 per person (+GST)
Includes an engaging interactive workshop, a copy of the day’s presentations plus templates and forms. Tea, coffee, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided.

Whether it’s making sure that waste is collected, roads are maintained and that sports fields are bounce down ready, it only happens because of the sector’s specialist equipment and operators’ breadth of fleet and assets.
The City of Mandurah was one of the 17 LGIS members who participated in the motor fleet pilot program. Across the City there’s
a proactive risk approach and this was apparent when assessing
their fleet and plant management.
It was April 2022 when the LGIS injury prevention team visited Craigie Leisure Centre (CLC) to review the Kindy Gym program.
