FAQs

1) How do I become an approved workplace rehabilitation provider?
Section 156 of the Workers' Compensation and Injury Management Act, 1981 authorises WorkCover WA to approve a person or persons capable of providing vocational rehabilitation services, set conditions of approval, or revoke an approval if conditions or performance criteria established by the WorkCover WA, have not been met.

Further information is contained in the application package for approved workplace rehabilitation providers.
