Goals of our PROACTIVE workplace intervention:
- Reduced Workcover premiums

We immediately respond (within 24hrs) to any workplace accident, injury or claim to reduce claim costs by correctly treating the injury in its early stages and managing the claim process effectively. We also liaise directly with the OH&S or HR manager and can even help implement policy.
