The project aimed to explore the following issues:

• people’s experiences of workplace injury and rehabilitation
• whether the issues are the same for men and women
• what helps and hinders people during rehabilitation and return to work - both in the workplace and in the workers
• rehabilitation and compensation system
• whether available statistics and research adequately consider gender and broader psychosocial issues
• strategies that represent best practice for assisting workers’ rehabilitation and return to work.

The views of a range of groups were canvassed, including: employers, managers, OHS/Rehabilitation coordinators, unions, health and safety representatives and trainers, claims agents and case managers, rehabilitation consultants and providers, as well as workers who have, or have had, a lost time injury. The project’s methodology had both qualitative and quantitative components, but its priority was to give a voice to injured workers, a perspective that has been recognised internationally as under-researched. Data was collected through surveys, interviews and group discussions and was informed by a literature review of relevant Australian and international research.
