Work Cover

Workplace injuries occur more commonly than anticipated by many organisations. They can cause severe disruptions in service provision for many organisations that depend on their workforce for manual and labour tasks. Injuries can occur at labour intensive work sites such as building sites, warehouses etc. and in non labour intensive environments such as a desk job. An injured worker can cost an organisation thousands of dollars in increased WorkCover premiums and expensive treatment claims. Furthermore, workers if not treated and rehabilitated early and effectively may not be able to resume their pre-injury work efficiency and may find their career progression compromised.

Ritco is a WorkCover registered organisation and we provide mobile allied health services to the Brisbane and surrounding regions.
