[JobCover6](https://www.sira.nsw.gov.au/resources-library/workers-compensation-resources/publications/help-with-getting-people-back-to-work/jobcover6-supporting-recovery-at-work) 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.
