The Personal Injury Education Foundation holds the exclusive Australian licence to the International Disability Management Standards Council's (IDMSC) certification programs for Injury Management and Return to Work professionals. The IDMSC was established in 2003 by senior representatives of business, labour, government and other stakeholder groups from around the world. The goal of the IDMSC is to reduce the human, social and economic costs of injuries and disabilities in the workplace. To this end, it promotes standards that are international, professional and consensus based.
The IDMSC professional credentials are based on the Occupational Standards in Disability Management which comprise of two levels of occupation in the field of disability / injury management:
The Certified Return to Work Co-ordinator (CRTWC) designation is aimed at workplace-based Return to Work Co-ordinators who have responsibilities for planning, developing, monitoring and reviewing RTW strategies, including identifying suitable employment opportunities for an injured worker in relation to the RTW plan.

The Certified Disability Management Professionals (CDMP) designation is aimed at occupational therapists, physiotherapists, occupational health and human resource professionals, as well as other practitioners dealing with the rehabilitation of injured workers. Although the role of a CDMP may provide direct services to those suffering a personal injury, they often perform executive functions which may include, but are not limited to the administration of injury management services, development of policies and procedures, promotion of RTW concepts through education and training, consulting to joint labour-management committees, program evaluation etc.
