Insurance & Care NSW has opened nominations for its fourth annual Care and Service Excellence (CASE) awards, which recognise performance in workers’ compensation.

CEO John Nagle says the CASE awards celebrate “unsung heroes”, including claims managers, service and rehabilitation case managers, brokers and risk management providers.

“Each of these roles are critical to preventing injuries and providing the care and support injured workers need to get back on their feet,” he said.

Awards will go to the best young professionals, outstanding individuals and teams in care and service work. Other categories are excellence and innovation in injury management, improving employer performance, injury prevention and customer excellence.

A lifetime achievement award will also be presented at the International Convention Centre in Sydney on November 13.

Nominations close on September 14 and finalists will be announced in October. More details are available here.
