- Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong relationships with insurers, brokers, legal teams, and regulators to facilitate smooth and effective claims management.
- Return-to-Work Strategy: Partner with Injury Management Specialists to develop and execute return-to-work (RTW) strategies, focusing on early intervention and achieving positive outcomes for injured employees.
- Data Integrity & Reporting: Accurately manage case files, ensuring full compliance with legislative and company requirements, and contribute to regular data reporting.
- Salary Continuance Claims: Oversee salary continuance and non-work-related injury/illness claims, ensuring fair, timely, and efficient resolution.
- Continuous Improvement: Lead initiatives to enhance claims management processes, training programs, and injury management systems, driving continuous improvement across the business.

What You'll Bring to the Table:

- Proven experience in workers compensation, injury management, or a related field, ideally within a self-insurance environment.
- Strong understanding of occupational rehabilitation, including relevant legal frameworks and requirements.
- Exceptional interpersonal, negotiation, and teamwork skills, with a commitment to driving positive outcomes in injury management.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement capabilities, acting as an internal advisor and effectively managing relationships with occupational rehab providers, insurers, and regulators.
- Strong organisational skills, with a keen eye for detail, and the ability to manage time and priorities efficiently.
- Experience in self-insurance and proficiency in data analytics are highly desirable.
