Return to Work Disputes

In reply to Mr SZAKACS (Cheltenham) (24 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised the following:

ReturnToWorkSA does not keep data on disputes under section 18 of the act.

That information is, however, available from the South Australian Employment Tribunal. The South Australian Employment Tribunal advised the following:

The total number of applications lodged under section 18 of the Return To Work Act to date is 184. 152 applications have been resolved by agreement between the parties or by the applicant withdrawing. 9 decisions have been delivered and 1 preliminary ruling has been delivered. 32 files are currently open.
