Workers Compensation

Our Workplace Assessments provide a practical understanding of an employee’s role, work environment and current functional capacity.

We assess the physical and functional demands of the workplace, identify appropriate duties and potential barriers to recovery, and provide clear recommendations to support a safe and sustainable return to work.

Where appropriate, we collaborate with the employee, employer and other stakeholders to ensure recommendations are realistic, achievable and aligned with the employee’s current capacity.

A clear and structured return-to-work plan can play an important role in supporting recovery following injury or illness.

Following assessment, our team can develop a Suitable Duties Plan outlining appropriate work tasks, hours, restrictions and graduated stages of return to work based on the employee’s current capacity.

Plans are developed collaboratively with relevant stakeholders and can be reviewed and adjusted as the employee’s capacity improves, supporting progression towards their pre-injury duties wherever possible.

Medical Case Conferences bring key stakeholders together to establish clarity around an employee’s treatment, recovery, functional capacity and return-to-work pathway.

Our rehabilitation consultants can participate in conferences with the employee and treating medical practitioners to discuss progress, current restrictions, treatment recommendations and work capacity.

This collaborative approach helps ensure everyone is working towards clear and consistent recovery and return-to-work goals.

Our Functional Capacity Evaluations provide an objective assessment of an individual’s physical and functional abilities in relation to work and everyday activities.

Through structured assessment, we evaluate areas such as mobility, strength, endurance, positional tolerances and capacity to safely perform relevant tasks.

The findings provide employers, insurers and treating stakeholders with practical information regarding current functional capacity, restrictions and potential rehabilitation or return-to-work requirements.
