UPDATE TO THE HWCA WEBSITE

In June 2008, the Heads of Workers’ Compensation Authorities (HWCA) endorsed the introduction of a Nationally Consistent Approval Framework for Workplace Rehabilitation Providers from 1st July 2010

The Nationally Consistent Approval Framework is intended to:

- provide a robust approval system across participating workers’ compensation authorities;
- enable the objective measurement of provider performance against the Conditions of Approval; and
- establish practice principles designed to deliver high quality workplace rehabilitation services to workers, employers and insurers.

For more information about the approval framework and process and the transitional arrangements in 2009 and 2010 please go to www.hwca.org.au and your respective jurisdictional workers compensation website.
