Information for employers

An employer's role is crucial in supporting an injured worker's recovery and return to work after a psychological injury.

The Mental Health Claims Hub has been developed to help you manage your workers compensation psychological injury claims. It will guide you through the different stages of the claims journey, supporting the work of your case manager and claims service provider.
