How care works here
Occupational medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the relationship between work and health: assessing capacity for work, managing workplace injury and supporting a safe, sustainable return to work.
For employers, insurers, rehabilitation providers and legal representatives, our practitioners provide assessments and reports informed by accurate diagnosis, functional capacity and evidence-based rehabilitation. For workers, the same team can coordinate physiotherapy, exercise physiology and psychology around the medical plan, so recovery and return to work are managed together rather than in fragments.
Onsite facilities
Full onsite gym-based assessments and rehabilitation services are available to support functional and work-capacity assessment.
Who we work with
We work with employers, insurers, rehabilitation providers, GPs, legal representatives and return-to-work clients, as well as individuals referred for assessment.
