Referrals to vocational rehabilitation services

In most circumstances, the worker's case manager will determine whether referral to vocational rehabilitation services is appropriate.

Referrals to vocational rehabilitation services are divided into two categories:

  1. Immediate referrals are made when a worker has sustained a severe or catastrophic injury.

  2. General referrals are made when the medical evidence shows that a worker's injury or condition will be a significant barrier to the worker returning to employment.
