I can’t remember my password?

If you no longer have access to that email account, email admin@rtwmatters.org with up to date contact details.

I’m a member having trouble logging into the site.
If your email address is in our system, you can try resetting your password. If you are prompted to renew upon logging in, your membership has expired, or your account is pending payment. If you wish to access member only content, you will need to follow the renewal prompts and select a membership option. If you are sure you have a paid membership, please check you are using the email address the account was set up with. If you are still unable to log in, please contact us and we’ll assist you in gaining access.

I just paid for my membership but I’m being asked to renew when I try to log in, how do I gain access?
Occasionally, when paying by credit card, the connection with the bank can time out or an error may occur. In this case, 99% of the time, the funds have not been taken off your credit card and your Return to Work Matters account will be set up but inactive (expired). You can confirm that the transaction failed with admin@rtwmatters.org or your bank. To attempt the transaction again, please log in using your email address and password at the top right corner of the homepage and you’ll be prompted to complete the transaction again through the renewal process.

If you have paid by direct deposit to ensure that your account is activated as soon as possible, please email notification of payment to admin@rtwmatters.org. We will activate your account within 1 business day from notification. Without this email, activation will be delayed until we can apply the payment to your account.

What form of payment do you accept?
We accept the following credit cards through our secure eWay payment gateway: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Diners. We also accept direct deposit into our bank account. When selecting direct deposit on the subscription page, you will be emailed an invoice with our banking details.

My employer needs an invoice prior to approving payment. How do I organise this?
If you select direct deposit on the subscription page, you will be emailed a tax invoice which you can submit for approval. The invoice will have our banking details but if you wish to pay this invoice by credit card, we do accept card details over the telephone for Australian members.

Alternatively, contact admin@rtwmatters.org and a customized invoice can be sent to you.

How do I get a receipt for my transaction?
You should have received a tax invoice / receipt via email upon payment, however if you did not receive it, or have misplaced it, you can View or Download your invoices under My Account when logged in.

How do I receive my bonus eBooks?
You should have received a welcome email with your account details and links to the welcome gifts upon payment. We recommend saving the eBooks to your computer in case you misplace or delete the email. If you did not receive them, or would like them resent, please email admin@rtwmatters.org with your request.

How do I start / stop receiving my weekly newsletter?
You can start / stop receiving the weekly newsletter anytime you like. Just log in, click on My Account in the top right corner of the homepage and tick / untick "I am happy to receive newsletters from rtwmatters.org".

The default setting ensures you begin receiving your newsletter as soon as you join. If you have not been receiving your weekly newsletter and the box under My Account is ticked, please check that you have entered the correct email address on your account. Due to the newsletter being a mass mail out, some security settings can classify the email as junk mail. You should check your junk mail folder and mark us as a safe sender if this has occurred. If it is not in your junk folder, you should request that your IT department add www.rtwmatters.org to the safe domain list on the server.
