Healthy people, healthy workplace

X

At WorkHealth Victoria we're serious about reducing workers compensation premiums and claims. We know that the premiums for healthy workplaces is around $600 per person. Our aim is to get it lower than that, in fact to have the lowest premiums in Victoria.

In order to achieve this objective we are vigorous in the execution of our occupational health, fitness and wellbeing policy.

We encourage our staff to be actively involved in personal development and career development activities.

THE OH&S FIREWALL

An integral aspect of our Workers compensation policy is the building of the firewall between dysfunction and injury. We believe this to be an integral aspect of our workers' compensation risk management strategy - fixing dysfunctions at the cause and not letting dysfunctions become injuries.

Plus we know that when people are fit, strong, flexible and in alignment they are less likely to become injured.

If they do become injured, we know that if they are fit, strong, flexible and in alignment the rehabilitation process will be speeded up.

FORMULA 1 REHABILITATION

While people who are injured or stressed are on a workers compensation plan they are obligated to attending one of our Formula 1 Rehabilitation programs.

We treat rehabilitation as a serious, full time job.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

Workers compensation claims and premiums are a key performance indicator for our managers and their sections.

Managers are held to account for this section of their budget with the cost of the premiums for their section being recorded.
