    Injury, illness and disability support

    Workplace rehabilitation supports staff with injury, illness and disability to remain at work or return to work safely.

    It can also minimise the human and financial costs of injury for all stakeholders. Workplace injury management may involve, but is not limited to, treatment, workplace accommodations and reasonable adjustments, suitable duties and/or graduated return to work. Workplace accommodation and reasonable adjustments may be possible to accommodate disability.

    Here you can find guides on the workers compensation claim process, early intervention referrals, ergonomics tips and tricks, and entitlements.

    Answer

    The emergency number in Australia is 000.

    This number connects you to Police, Fire or Ambulance services.

    Calls to this number are free and can be made from any fixed or mobile phone.

    You should call this number if:

    • someone is seriously injured or in need of medical attention
    • your life or property is being threatened
    • you have just witnessed a serious crime or accident

    There are also two secondary (free) emergency service numbers in Australia:

    • 112, which can only be dialled from a digital mobile phone. It does not require a SIM card and will connect to any service provider, but phone coverage must be available. It may also work in countries outside of Australia to connect you to their Emergency Services
    • 106 is for people who have a hearing or speech impairment and will connect you to a text-based relay service
