Injury prevention and insights
Analyse injury and health data to identify trends and emerging risks, partnering with Operations, Safety, training teams and allied health providers to turn insights into practical prevention strategies.

Injury management and recovery
Manage workers compensation and non-work-related injury and illness cases, coordinating early intervention, rehabilitation, suitable duties and sustainable return-to-work outcomes.

Health, wellbeing and provider management
Help bring our health and wellbeing strategy to life through local initiatives, campaigns and events, while partnering with onsite and external health and wellbeing providers to support quality services and positive outcomes.
