Fitness for duty, reasonable adjustments
Managing ill or injured employees isn’t just complex - it’s high risk. Employers must balance legal obligations, medical evidence, operational demands, and workplace safety. Getting it wrong can lead to discrimination claims, workers’ compensation disputes and WHS breaches.
This practical webinar will give HR professionals, managers and leaders the clarity to make confident, legally defensible decisions.
What we will cover:
Fitness for duty: What medical evidence you can request - and how to use it
Reasonable adjustments: What’s required, what’s not, and how to assess “reasonableness”
Risk & safety: Managing WHS concerns and capacity issues
Return to work: Building and managing effective RTW plans
When roles can’t be performed: Lawful pathways forward
Documentation & communication: Getting the process right
From psychological injuries to complex return-to-work scenarios, this session will equip you to respond with confidence and minimise risk.
