When suitable work does not have to be provided

You don’t need to provide suitable work to a worker with current work capacity when:

• it is not reasonably practicable to do so
• the worker voluntarily left employment, either before or after the start of the incapacity for work
• you terminated the worker’s employment for a reason not related to the injury.

It is an offence to dismiss a worker because of a work related injury within six months from when they first become unfit as a result of the injury.
