Return to Work Providers
We Extensively Evaluate Return to Work SA Injured Workers As Well As Other Workers’ Compensation Claims
We dedicate time analysing their pre-injury working status or current injury status along with both their physical and psychosocial situation. We believe this approach leads to faster return to work times.
Our Approach
We tailor every treatment approach based on key goals established in conjunction with the injured worker and their treatment team. Our thorough approach includes:
- Written letters to all providers
- Timely communication
- De-escalating any worker fears or misconceptions about their recovery
- A detailed explanation to the worker about the return to work process and different supports available to them
- Selection of appropriate and relevant outcome measurement tools and psychosocial screening tools
Scope of Treatment
Options
Some workers will need a closely guided program of rehabilitation involving weekly intervention where others might need less frequent review. This could involve:
- Task analysis of the worker through video footage or a worksite visit
- Providing a hands-on approach for faster recovery
- Targeting exercise programs for strength and movement that are specific to an injured worker’s role
- Guiding timeframes for expected return to work
- Prescribing lifting, carrying and activity limits
- Planning specific return to work phases
- Second opinions (independent assessment) for cases where there has been limited progress returning to work
- Customised one-on-one pain education sessions
Referral
Process
We accept referrals from GP’s, specialists, rehabilitation consultants and case managers. Any claimant history that can be provided prior to an initial assessment will be used to help establish a treatment plan.
Urgent cases will be prioritised across our team. We have a team of varied backgrounds and interests which allows us to find a therapist of ideal fit for every worker. This is an important feature of our return to work success. This process commences with our friendly administrative team at the first inquiry.
