Nic Van der Drift

With a passion for people, customer service and building strong relationships, I have developed exceptional skills within the workers compensation sector. I have a strong background in injury management and understand the impact of employment and return to work to an individual’s wellbeing. I stumbled onto Workers’ Compensation in 2003, landing a temp role at CGU. Within weeks I was offered a permanent case manager role and that’s where my passion for helping people get back to life after injury was ignited. Moving to RiskCover in 2009 and QBE in 2011, I have worked as a part of many teams as a Case Manager, Technical Officer, Service Manager and Relationship Manager. It is a privilege to be a part of the workers compensation system. We have a real opportunity to help people get back to life after they have had an injury, most importantly - back to work. Time to move away from the "compo" cliché and really help injured people make the claims experience a positive one. This involves education of employers to assist them with their employee and return to work journey.
