Docklands, Australia Melbourne Water Full time

Who we are

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.

As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.

Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a backyard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra—we’re there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world’s cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home —just as we have for over 130 years.

If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what’s right, you're in the right place.

About the Role

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Health & Wellbeing, this is a pivotal role within the Health, Safety & Environment Team, based at our 990 La Trobe Street head office. As the Manager, Injury & Wellness you will be responsible for:

  • Overseeing compliance and reporting for the Self-Insurance license, including managing audits such as SISAP and EDT returns.
  • Oversee injury management, claims management and management of non-work related injuries
  • Providing compassionate support and guidance to employees throughout their rehabilitation process, ensuring their wellbeing and successful return to work.
  • Managing injury cases with empathy and care, encompassing both work-related and non-work-related incidents, and facilitating seamless return-to-work processes.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to develop and implement effective Rehabilitation and Return to Work strategies tailored to individual employee needs.
  • Identifying opportunities for early intervention and proactive support to prevent injuries and promote employee wellbeing.
  • Continuously evaluating and improving our Rehabilitation and Return to Work programs to ensure they meet the evolving needs of our workforce.

Why join us:

At Melbourne Water, we care about water and all life that springs from it.

Our people are fuelled by passion, and with safety at the forefront, we have an unwavering sense of purpose, and are on a mission to protect every Melburnian’s way of life, one drop at a time.

We walk the talk when it comes to flexible working – but that’s not all. Our culture of purpose, safety, results, and learning permeates everything we do. We're dedicated to doing what's right, and this commitment extends to the meaningful work we do in a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages you to make the most of your talents.

Our long-standing commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging means that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, LGBTIQA+ individuals, people living with disability, mature age and young jobseekers from all cultures can apply with confidence knowing they are safe, affirmed, and celebrated.
