Volunteer with It Pays to Care

Since 2022, IPTC has been a leading voice in advocating for evidence based whole worker care in Australia’s personal injury sector. As a lean, independent not for profit, our reach depends on people who share our goals. We’re building a volunteer movement – professionals, clinicians and advocates working together to create a future where it truly pays to care.

We can’t reach every corner of the industry alone. By contributing your expertise, you can help us amplify our message, influence culture and accelerate system wide improvements.
 

We recognise that everyone has different levels of capacity. We offer three distinct ways to support our mission, matching your skills and availability to the right contribution.

• Friend of IPTC: endorse our principles and carry the message into your own professional work and networks
• Volunteer: contribute your specific skills and time to defined IPTC projects
• Sponsored Contributor: your organisation funds your time to work with IPTC on an ongoing basis

Volunteering for IPTC is a powerful way to contribute to the transformation of compensation systems while gaining significant personal and professional value.

• Professional development: gain exposure to policy advocacy, cross-sector collaboration and industry leading research
• Networking: work alongside respected leaders across the Australian personal injury landscape
• Purpose driven impact: help fix a system that affects thousands of workers and their families every year
• Exclusive resources: gain full access to the RTWMatters resource library, featuring over 1,500 articles and research summaries
• Recognition: add your IPTC contribution to your LinkedIn profile and professional portfolio

The most valuable asset our volunteers bring is their sector knowledge and networks. Here are some ways you can help:

• Champion within your organisation: pilot an IPTC tool within your own organisation and share the results
• Bridge to industry bodies: help us get evidence based injury management onto the agendas of professional associations and conferences
• Co-develop resources: use your specialist knowledge to help us adapt resources for specific jurisdictions or sectors
• Event representation: represent IPTC at industry forums, run a workshop or present our work at conferences you are already attending
• Jurisdictional connections: help us build relationships with state regulators and scheme authorities

If you’re passionate about improving outcomes in the personal injury sector, complete our volunteer interest survey and we’ll arrange a conversation about where your skills, expertise and interests can have most impact.

Together we can create a multiplier effect – strengthening individual organisations while elevating practice standards across the entire sector.
