Transition to work program
The Transition to Work program helps pay for immediate or short-term costs that might prevent a worker from starting work with a new employee
COVID-19 update:
This program can be used to address a financial barrier that is preventing the injured person from accessing new employment.
What do I need to do?
The injured person needs to provide evidence of the financial barrier preventing them from accepting the offer of employment. This evidence then needs to be submitted along with the SIRA CPT Programs to Support Recovery at Work - Application Form to the relevant CTP insurer.
What is the program?
This program provides funding of up to:
- $200 to help the injured person in looking for employment
- $5,000 to address immediate or short term barriers that prevent you from accepting an offer of new employment.
Funds from the transition to work program can be used to pay for a range of items, including (but not limited to):
- Clothing (excludes personal protective equipment (PPE) and uniforms)
- Travel costs
