The Workers Compensation Act (Workplace Injury Management) Amendment Regulation was gazetted on 10 December 1999 and came into effect on I January 2000.

The 1999 Amendment Regulation gives agencies more flexibility in regard to arrangements for Return-to Work Coordinators and Programs. In certain circumstances, for example, when core business is similar, agencies can share a Return-to-Work Coordinator and Program.

Agencies should check with WorkCover regarding their eligibility and approval and reporting requirements under the 1999 Amendment Regulation.

Enquiries, copies of, and Guidelines on, the 1999 Amendment Regulation on the 1999 Amendment Regulation are available from:
