Occupational Rehabilitation & Return To Work Support | Sarina Russo

Pain, illness and mobility issues can create very real barriers to employment. Whether you’ve sustained an injury or are living with a chronic illness, our VOICE team of accredited exercise physiologists and occupational therapists are committed to helping you feel better and move better!

After an initial assessment of your specific health issues and potential health risks, we will develop an appropriate treatment plan that combines physical health intelligence with vocational counselling, to help you build a safe and sustainable pathway to employment.

Our VOICE team can provide occupational rehabilitation support for:

• Weight loss
• Heart and lung conditions
• Type 1 & 2 diabetes, mellitus and other issues related to the metabolic system
• Nerve and/or neurological complaints
• Musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Balance and proprioception

In addition to helping you find ways to better manage your underlying injury, illness or health conditions, we also provide support and counselling to reduce sedentary behaviours and promote positive lifestyle change, including:

• Physical rehabilitation
• Exercise counselling
• Behavioural coaching
• Health education
• Pain management
• Aerobic exercise
• Resistance training/exercise
• Mental health support

Our goal is to provide you with the tools and support you need to find meaningful work. We can liaise with employers on your behalf to discuss job-fit considerations and create an individualised Return to Work Plan. This ensures you have an actionable strategy in place to support your success in the workplace.

Once you have found a job, our support continues. We can help fund any specialist equipment or safety gear you may need to carry out duties in your field of work.
