Employers

Helping Employers Reduce the Risk of Injury and Get Employees Back to Work Faster.
At Coastal Rehab, our Occupational Therapists have the right skill set and experience to assess workplaces, improve injury management, consult on issues of current employee injury risk, and to assist in the prevention of workplace accidents. Unfortunately, unexpected work absenteeism is a major problem in Australia. The challenges of an aging workforce, physical or psychological disability, and the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions can be bewildering for employers who need to “just get on with the job”.

Skillful Occupational Rehabilitation will benefit all stakeholders involved.

How We Help Employers
By assisting injured employees to stay or return to work

We help employees affected by physical, cognitive, and/or emotional barriers to return to their previous position, or to another opportunity more suited to their abilities.

Successful team work with the client, employer and treatment team allows us to make practical recommendations for a graded return to work program. We do this by assessing the client, analysing the job demands and liaising with other health providers and the employer.

Coastal Rehab provides Return to Work services and Occupational Rehabilitation across the Sunshine Coast and surrounding regions including:

  • Initial needs and Workplace Assessments
  • Identifying Suitable Duties
  • Ergonomic Assessments
  • Equipment Prescriptions
  • Functional Evaluations
  • Manual Handling
  • Job Task Analysis
  • Car and Truck Assessments

  • Every case is different.
