About CSIRO

As Australia's national science agency, CSIRO is solving the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. Many of our iconic innovations were once considered impossible until someone, just like you, joined us and took on the challenge.

The prospect

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) partners across CSIRO to strengthen our wellbeing and safety culture and support our people to work safely and sustainably. We have an exciting prospect for a qualified Injury Management Advisor (IMA) to join our team.

As an Injury Management Advisor, you will provide end-to-end case management and rehabilitation support for employees experiencing work-related and non-work-related injury or illness. Working closely with employees, leaders, HR and other stakeholders, you will develop and manage rehabilitation and Return to Work (RTW) strategies that support positive, sustainable outcomes.

The IMA also holds Comcare rehabilitation delegations and will work with the team to design and manage compliant and impactful rehabilitation programs.

Your high-level duties will include:

- Manage injury and illness cases, providing end-to-end rehabilitation and case management support for CSIRO employees.
- Develop, implement,



monitor and review rehabilitation programs and Return to Work plans in partnership with employees and key stakeholders.
- Manage rehabilitation requirements for work-related injuries in accordance with the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 (SRC Act) and relevant CSIRO policies and procedures.
- Provide specialist injury management and rehabilitation advice to employees, leaders and HR, supporting effective and sustainable Return to Work outcomes.
- Identify opportunities for early intervention and work with teams to implement strategies that help employees remain safely at work.
- Maintain accurate and timely injury management records and contribute to reporting, strategic reviews and audits.
- Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of injury management policies, procedures, systems and practices.

Location: Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne preferred, with other sites negotiable.

with demonstrated evidence of knowledge and use of RTW and rehabilitation case management systems.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate with HSE staff and key stakeholders to foster a positive safety culture and build strong relationships, with a capacity to adapt to changing environments and challenges to achieve team objectives.
- Proven experience in understanding stakeholder priorities and working with HSE teams to design, deliver, and implement effective communication strategies (both written and verbal, such as training) to ensure consistent messaging across the organisation.
- Experience in facilitating knowledge transfer within HSE teams and across stakeholders, while providing support, guidance, and coaching to colleagues, encouraging open communication and strong collaboration.
