JobCover6 is a SIRA initiative that provides financial support to employers who hire injured workers.
JobCover6 helps workers find work with a new employer. This program supports employers in offering employment for up to 6 months to a worker who is:
- recovering from a work-related injury or illness;
- ready to return to work; and
- unable to secure employment with their pre-injury employer.
Employers utilising JobCover6 have the option to extend into the JCPP at the end of the program period.
JobCover6 offers wage subsidies for up to six months, covering a portion of the worker's wages to encourage employers to offer job opportunities to individuals recovering from a workplace injury.
This program helps injured workers return to employment while easing the financial burden on employers during the transition. The goal is to support both recovery and workforce reintegration.
