The ALA has made a submission to Safe Work Australia as part of Safe Work Australia’s mid-term review of the National Return to Work Strategy 2020-2030 (Strategy).
This consultation focuses on analysing the effectiveness of the Strategy in its first five years and on identifying key areas of focus for the Strategy’s remaining five years.
The ALA’s submission addresses three main matters:
- the need for the Strategy to encourage greater consistency regarding return to work across all jurisdictions, which would provide clarity for workers;
- the importance of the Strategy being updated to address the impact of work from home and flexible working arrangements on return to work, as well as the impact of and adapting the response to an increase in psychological injuries; and
- gig worker considerations.
