Do Work That Matters

Our Workers Compensation team case manages claims and associated return-to-work support within the Bank’s early intervention framework, while administering the requirements of our federal self-insurance licence (Comcare).

See yourself in our team

As a Senior Case Manager, you’ll report to the Executive Manager, Workers Compensation and act as a technical specialist within the team. You’ll manage a small portfolio of complex claims, taking them end-to-end to achieve safe, durable and timely return-to-work outcomes. Beyond your own portfolio, you’ll guide Case Managers on complex matters, contribute to claim strategy and problem-solving, and support quality assurance.

• Manage a small portfolio of complex claims end-to-end, from commencement through determination and, where relevant, dispute and legal processes.
• Make all relevant determinations on claims in accordance with the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988, reviewing claim status and liability to maintain the correct or preferable decision.
• Devise, implement and regularly review strategic plans and effective rehabilitation programs that drive safe, durable and timely return-to-work outcomes.
• Exercise delegations across both claims and rehabilitation matters, including approving payments within delegated authority.
• Provide technical advice and guidance to Case Managers on complex matters.
• Work collaboratively with the team on claim strategy, technical issues and problem-solving.
• Support quality assurance and auditing activities.
• Communicate confidently with claimants, internal stakeholders, senior management, rehabilitation stakeholders and legal teams, and represent the Bank at external forums such as conciliations and tribunals where required.
  

We’re interested in hearing from people who:

We’re looking for a technical specialist who brings deep workers compensation expertise and sound judgement. Just as importantly, you’ll be a collaborative team player who is comfortable sharing knowledge and supporting experienced colleagues.

• Bring extensive workers compensation case management experience.
• Ideally, offer significant Comcare and SRC Act 1988 experience and a strong understanding of the scheme.
• Have a demonstrated ability to manage complex and disputed claims.
• Apply strong technical judgement and provide practical advice to other experienced Case Managers.
• Communicate clearly and confidently, both in writing and verbally.
• Engage comfortably with stakeholders at all levels, including management and legal teams.
• Take a collaborative and supportive approach, where team fit matters as much as technical expertise.
