Early Intervention Done Right
Places are limited - don't miss out!
Why Early Intervention?
We’ve all seen injury management errors in the past:
- “What can can we do when it starts to slip away?”
- “How do we ensure we get our employee the right treatment at the right time?”
- “What are the signs things are going off track?”
In response to this need, we held the First Early Intervention Done Right Symposium back in 2024, and now in March 2026 we are bringing it back!
Our 2026 program brings you a range of experts, who delve into the evidence to give you practical skills to take back to your job - so you can get Early Intervention 'right'.
Who should attend?
- Insurance (or Self Insurance) Claims Managers
- Human Resource Professionals
- Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinators
- Health and Safety Professionals
- Allied Health - especially those new to workplace rehabilitation
- Relevant to all industries
Opening with Special Breakfast in 2026!
Start the day with a bang – with the main course served up by the WhyWork® Podcast team.
Get ready for Early Intervention Done Right – “WhyWork®” Style with a live podcast recording.
The event will be held at the beautiful Calile Hotel, 48 James Street, Fortitude Valley.

Breakfast and a Live Recording of a Special WhyWork? Podcast
Join us for a special live recording of the Why Work? Podcast - 'Early Intervention Under Cross Examination – Band-Aids, Bureaucracy, and Better Design'. While you enjoy breakfast Calile-style, turn your ears to the intersection of case law and human factors as the WhyWork® Team examine the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘what-if’s’ behind the stories of real people at work. We’re long-time fans of the podcast hosted by Alan Girle, Sara Pazell and Trajce Cvetkovski, which is now in its eighth season. Rated in the top 10 management and top 40 business Apple podcasts in Australia, the WhyWork® podcast will examine the uncomfortable realities and cautionary tales of work. Additionally, they’ll reconstruct a better way for contemporary workplaces to get early intervention done – right. If you haven’t had a chance to hear the WhyWorkTM podcast yet, you don’t need to wait for the symposium – check it out at https://whywork.com.au/ or wherever you download your podcasts.

Psychosocial masterclass: Getting beyond the risk assessment & prevention plan
Tom Raeburn will present a Psychosocial masterclass: Getting beyond the risk assessment and prevention plans. As psychosocial prosecutions increase, and the line between traditional HR issues and WHS continues to blur, practitioners are constantly being challenged about how to ensure psychosocial safety. In this masterclass, we unpack contemporary trends, compliance initiatives (beyond a basic risk assessment) and give practical guidance on how to navigate the complex industrial, regulatory and societal expectations psychosocial safety puts on all WHS duty holders.
