Overview
This program provides incentive payments to NSW employers who hire workers with work-related injuries or illnesses unable to return to their pre-injury employer. Employers receive wage subsidies for up to 12 months, an exemption of the injured worker's wages from workers compensation premium calculations for up to 2 years, and protection against further costs associated with changes to the worker's existing injury.
Eligibility Requirements
Employers must be a different employer to the pre-injury employer, hold a current workers compensation policy, offer employment for a minimum of 12 months, provide a minimum of 64 paid hours per month, and not be in receipt of any other wage subsidy for the worker.
