Treatment and recovery
Clear information about your treatment and who is involved in your care and recovery.
Support to get better
If you’re recovering from a work-related injury or illness, it’s natural to want life to get back to normal.
Everyone’s recovery is different.
Your treatment will depend on your injury, your health needs and your recovery goals.
In this section, we explain:
- the steps to start your recovery
- how we plan your recovery
- who is involved and what they do.
Getting back to work, when it's safe for you, can also help you feel more like yourself again.
