A return to work plan for an injured worker, agreed by the worker, the RTW coordinator, their supervisor or the owner, and their nominated treating doctor.

It records the worker's, the organisation's, the workers compensation insurer's and the treating doctor's details; the plan's start and review dates and its RTW goal; the work restrictions on the current medical certificate and the agreed actions; a week-by-week schedule of suitable duties, work hours and restrictions; and the worker's appointments and medical treatments.

It is part of the Health and Safety Manual, whose documents refer to each other.
