The impact you'll have:

At the Workplace Injury Commission, we've helped thousands of injured workers and employers to resolve their disputes and move forward with their lives. We're a robust Victorian Government statutory authority that's making an impact.

We are looking for Conciliation Officers to join us. In this role, you'll be part of a collaborative team that play a key role within the organisation, delivering and maintaining consistent and high-quality Conciliation services to injured Victorians and their employers.

Where a matter cannot be resolved by agreement, you will independently exercise your powers under the WIRCA and ACA as appropriate, to assess the validity of decisions, make recommendations or issue directions, refer medical questions to Medical Panels, or issue a Certificate of Genuine Dispute, which allows injured workers to apply for arbitration (when applicable) or commence Court proceedings.
