New mental injury resources from WorkCover to help employers support workers

Mental injuries in the workplace are on the rise, and they can sometimes be challenging for employers to navigate.

Research shows employers play a crucial role in an injured worker’s recovery. In fact, workers who feel supported by their employer are up to five times more likely to return to work after an injury and have positive outcomes.

That's why WorkCover Queensland has launched new resources to help employers better manage work-related mental injuries.

The first four videos and factsheets are now available on our Mental injury essentials webpage. These guides answer important questions such as ‘What is a workplace mental injury?’ and ‘How does offering suitable duties benefit my business?’

Over the next few months WorkCover will be sharing more resources so that employers have the tools needed to better support workers and get them back to work safely.
