Returning to work or meaningful activity is often one of the biggest goals for clients recovering from a serious injury, and vocational rehabilitation plays a key part in getting there.

This might involve a phased return to a previous role, retraining for a new one, or exploring voluntary and community-based activities where a full return to work isn’t realistic.
A typical journey might look like this:
- Assessing current skills, goals and any physical or cognitive considerations
- Agreeing realistic, staged goals with the client and employer
- Trialling a phased return, with regular reviews
- Adjusting the plan as circumstances change
Getting back to work isn’t just about income — it’s often a significant part of someone’s sense of identity and purpose.
Our case managers work closely with occupational therapists, employers and clients themselves to build a plan that’s realistic, paced appropriately, and reviewed regularly.
