Understanding the Return to Work Scheme (RTWSA)

Presented by Dr. Cassandra Zaina, FACP
Specialist Occupational Health Physiotherapist | Physiotherapy Advisor, ReturnToWorkSA

Dr. Cassandra Zaina, Physiotherapy Advisor at ReturnToWorkSA, recently delivered a highly engaging and informative session to our team on best practices for supporting patients through the Return to Work Scheme. Drawing on her extensive clinical experience and advisory role, Cassandra provided practical insights into managing complex return-to-work cases, interpreting the RTWSA framework, and enhancing collaboration between clinicians, patients, and workplaces.

Our team found the session incredibly valuable—particularly for our early-career physiotherapists and recent graduates. Cassandra’s clear explanations and real-world examples offered practical tools to navigate the challenges of return-to-work claims and assessments, making this an excellent foundation for anyone aiming to support patients recovering from work-related injuries.
