Work Well Assessments

A good work station set up will result in improved comfort and productivity in the workplace.

We can help prevent discomfort by providing a brief review of an individual work station or a more in-depth assessment for those who are experiencing discomfort.

Work Well assessments can be customised to individual or company requirements.

Please call us to discuss.

Stay At Work (SAW)

We work with both the employer and the individual to ensure a gradual increase in work hours and duties based on the individual’s current level of functional capability and diagnosis.

Our expert therapists can provide regular supervision and practical advice regarding work practices and self-management principles to ensure that the individual can eventually return to pre-injury job demands.

Activity Restoration Programs

This is a clinically lead rehabilitation program tailored to the individual’s unique needs.

We assess the current levels of activity engagement versus inactivity within daily and weekly routines and provide weekly supervision to set goals to increase activity levels in preparation for a return back to work.

Work Wellness Training

We provide staff with training and proactive self-management tools to prevent and/or manage pain and discomfort in the workplace.

Our manual handling workshops provide specific workplace rehabilitation training regarding manual handling techniques focusing on the back and upper limb injuries.

Vocational Consultant / Career Support

We provide an assessment of transferrable knowledge and skills to identify alternative work type options that may be suitable for an individual following illness, injury or change of circumstances. A plan can be developed which includes features like interview skills, CV writing skills, or helping support you back to meaningful work.
