Keep planning

Together, create a clear path forward

Returning to work is a journey that looks different for everyone. Having a plan can help workers, employers, health practitioners and support people understand what support is needed, what comes next and how progress will be reviewed. Working together helps create clarity, builds confidence and supports a safe and sustainable return to work.

What does ‘keep planning’ look like?

Talking about recovery goals, discussing suitable work options, identifying support needs and reviewing progress together can help everyone stay aligned throughout recovery. Plans may change as recovery progresses, but having a shared understanding of the next steps can help keep recovery moving forward.

Why keeping a plan matters:

• creates shared goals and expectations
• helps everyone understand their role
• breaks recovery into manageable steps
• >builds confidence in the journey ahead
• supports meaningful work as part of recovery where appropriate
• helps everyone adapt when recovery needs and circumstances change
• supports positive recovery and sustainable return to work outcomes.
