Returning to Work

Following a period out of the workforce, meeting with an OT will help you focus your energy and efforts, to move you forward both physically and mentally, to help you regain control of your career.

  • Tailored career coaching helps identify realistic timeframes to get you back to work, with advice suited to your work experience and current circumstances.

  • OT assessments can identify your work readiness and review the work duties and demands of your prior or proposed role, to enable a clear plan forward, helping you to use your energy in the right places.

  • OT support can improve your experience of recovery, assisting with problem solving, task adaptation, postural habits and ergonomic changes, as well as proactive communication with your employer or your clients, to maintain strong relationships.

  • Occupational Therapy assists you to build your capacity for work tasks through postural strength, routine modifications and environmental controls.

Career Services can also include:

  • Medical case conferences (with your GP or Specialist)

  • Workplace meetings with your employer

  • Ergonomic assessment and equipment recommendations

  • Review of your home office to ensure consistency in your work performance, across all work environments.
