Workers' compensation in New South Wales Australia: the OTS role.
Workers' compensation in New South Wales Australia, changed in 1987 to emphasise rehabilitation back into the workforce. This change has expanded the field in which occupational therapists can contribute to work-related injuries. The Occupational Therapists' wide ranging approach to workers with injuries, and their ability to take a multifactorial approach to problem solving, puts them in a good position to resolve complex issues relating to return to work.
