Where possible the University will always try to accommodate restrictions (physical restrictions and/or reduced hours of work), which will generally be assessed on a case-by-case basis, having regard for operational business requirements. The Injury Management Coordinator will commence the consultation process with the injured staff member, their supervisor, treating health practitioners (when authorised) and Occupational Rehabilitation Provider (if appointed). The consultation process, involving the staff member, supervisor and Injury Management Coordinator will discuss potential medical restrictions and available return to work options that can be offered within those restrictions. These discussions can be done individually, although discussion as a group is the preferred method of consultation. The injured staff member may be assisted by a representative during any consultation. Any shortfall in hours worked as part of a return to work plan need to be paid as personal leave, covered by a medical certificate and signed off by the supervisor. Necessary arrangements should be discussed and agreed in the return to work planning.

A RTW Plan cannot commence without medical approval and the appropriate medical certificate or supporting medical advice being provided.
D	Monitoring Return to Work Plan	Injury Management Coordinator	Monitor and update the RTW plan in accordance with the medical certification being provided by the injured staff member. Maintain contact with the injured staff member, supervisor, treating health practitioner(s) and Occupational Rehabilitation Provider, (if appointed) and continue the consultation process as the RTW Plan progresses.
E	Complete Return to Work Process	Staff member	Provide a medical certificate from the treating doctor or other medical advice indicating fitness to resume normal duties.
