9.12 Assistance finding suitable employment

Sections 60 – 62 of the MRCA place an onus on the Rehabilitation Authority to assist a person who is incapacitated as a result of a service injury or disease to find suitable employment.  

Suitable employment or suitable work is defined in this library in section 2.4.2. 

 

It is important to note that a suitable employment outcome for any rehabilitation client may not necessarily be the best or only job to which a client may aspire. The intention is that it involves work that the client can sustain in the long-term and which is not likely to worsen their health. 

 

Note: Research has demonstrated that clients ineffectively placed in poorly matched or career limiting employment will fail long-term and will require additional support services. As the complexity of their circumstances increases, so does the projected costs for managing these clients.
