  • Managing sensitive conversations with empathy while balancing customer needs and business requirements.
  • Identifying barriers to recovery and working with stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes.
  • Maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with legislative and operational requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in workers' compensation and personal injury claims, allied health, medical reception, and workplace health and safety.
  • Confidence managing a high volume of work while maintaining a strong customer focus.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to adapt your approach to different situations.
