Return-to-Work Rates

323 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (7 August 2017). What are the return-to-work rates for the Emergency Services sector in 2016-17?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health, Minister Assisting the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse): I am advised:

In 2016-17, the emergency services sector had twelve claims where workers had more than ten days off. As at 30 June 2017, seven made a full return to pre injury duties, two returned to suitable duties that accommodated their functional abilities and three were deemed medically unfit to return to duties at that time.
