CAC have again received the highest possible star rating for New Employer Services (NES) from WorkSafe Victoria in the most recent release of occupational rehabilitation benchmarks.
\n\n
\n\nEach quarter, WorkSafe Victoria provides performance reports to the occupational rehabilitation providers and insurance agents. In order to receive a 3-star rating from WorkSafe, a provider's sustained return to work (RTW) outcomes must be more than 10% higher than the median provider outcome. This means that we are actively working to ensure real jobs are secured for sustained and meaningful return to work outcomes.
\n\n
\n\nA big congratulations to all CAC Consultants and their teams who strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for workers and employers. If you are an organisation seeking injury management advice, training, or return to work services, please get in touch.
