  • Practical strategies to support completion of workplace tasks and ability to thrive in their chosen role
  • Clear communication between all stakeholders to support adoption of agreed strategies

The service is voluntary and supports the development of an inclusive workplace culture that optimises engagement of people with disability, illness and injury.

Key features

  • Assessment to identify suitable workplace based solutions (physical, environmental and/or social)
  • Clear reporting with practical recommendations
  • A specialised service delivered by a registered allied health professional
  • Support to implement proposed strategies where required

Benefits

  • Builds a culture that optimises engagement of people with disability, illness and injury and provides a supportive work environment, enabling people with a disability to thrive

“From the first assessment when I met Caitlin, I was feeling that there was literally nothing that anyone could do to help me. Caitlin sat with me and consoled me and showed empathy to my situation and assured me that she would help with a solution. Caitlin has been so supportive in the whole process in assisting me to find a balance at work so that I can manage my disability in the workplace. I now feel more confident that I can continue to work and feel supported by Caitlin if I need any ongoing support.”

“The assessment that Molly had with Shannen resulted in some really practical and helpful solutions for Molly that have enabled her to be able to feel confident to return to her pre program workload. Molly is achieving all of her position responsibilities and KPIs in areas where she was previously struggling. She is engaged with leaders and has been really complimentary of the process and the outcomes.”
