### WorkCover South Australia Rehabilitation and Return to Work Plan

Managing an injured worker's return to their role requires careful coordination between employers, medical professionals, and the employee themselves. This **WorkCover SA rehabilitation and return to work plan template** helps South Australian businesses meet their obligations under the Return to Work Act 2014 (SA) while supporting a safe, structured recovery process.

Whether you're an HR manager, workplace health and safety officer, or small business owner navigating a WorkCover claim, this template streamlines the process of documenting medical restrictions, identifying suitable duties, and planning a graduated return to work program.

#### Why use Paperform for WorkCover return to work plans?

Instead of shuffling PDFs between your injured worker, their GP, and your internal teams, Paperform lets you collect all the necessary information in one secure, professional form. Conditional logic ensures you only ask relevant questions based on the worker's injury type and restrictions, while the doc-style editor keeps the form clear and easy to follow—even when covering complex medical and workplace accommodation details.

Once submitted, you can use **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)** to automatically route the plan to the right people for review and approval, update your HR records, send confirmation emails, and trigger follow-up tasks like scheduling progress reviews or notifying the claims manager. Everything stays connected, compliant, and trackable.

#### What's included in this template

This return to work plan covers:

 - **Worker and employer details** including WorkCover claim number and injury details
 - **Medical restrictions and limitations** as advised by the treating GP or specialist
 - **Suitable duties assessment** outlining modified or alternative tasks
 - **Graduated return to work schedule** with hours, days, and review milestones
 - **GP consultation summary** and sign-off on medical fitness
 - **Workplace support and accommodations** required during recovery
 - **Agreement and consent** from all parties

The template is designed for South Australian businesses managing WorkCover claims, but can be easily adapted for other states or internal injury management processes.

#### Trusted, secure, and compliant

Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II compliant** and handles sensitive worker and medical information with role-based permissions, secure storage, and audit trails. While Paperform is not HIPAA compliant, it meets the data handling and privacy standards expected by Australian businesses and can be configured to align with Privacy Act 1988 requirements.

Start with this template, customise it to match your business and industry, and create a return to work process that's clear, supportive, and legally sound.
