Rehabilitation Services

Navigating the complex and varied nature of injuries, individuals, work and home environments, relationships, and personal injury schemes – is what we do best. We are guided by the philosophy that work and independence are critical to wellbeing. While often complex, we know recovering while working leads to more rapid and sustainable health outcomes.

As a multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation providers, we work through physical, medical, psychological, and social complexities. We adopt a holistic approach, taking care of our client’s complete rehabilitation needs for an optimal, timely recovery.

Our Rehabilitation Services

Same Employer Services (Physical and Psychological Injuries)

We support our clients to recover physically and mentally from their injury or illness and manage every aspect of their return to work journey with their employer. We collaborate with all stakeholders involved in our client’s return to work plan, which includes assessing their capacity for the work they will return to and their workplace to make their return as seamless as possible.

Our Same Employer Services include:

New Employer Services (Physical and Psychological Injuries)

When our clients experience injuries that make it difficult to return to their previous place of employment or role, we work with them to create new vocational plans to support their return to work in a new role or with a new employer. We assess our patients’ physical and cognitive capabilities, interests, educational and employment background, and skills to support them through the process that includes facilitating work placements and trials. 

Our New Employer Services include:

Life Claims and Veterans Services

For many, their role or work life has distinctively impacted their health and wellbeing. Our team works with such individuals, including veterans of the armed services, to rehabilitate them from physical and psychological injuries and support improvements in their life and wellbeing. 

Our services include:

Depending on an individual’s need we may include in their program:

  • A vocational assessment with FuturePathwaysTM (a digital platform that guides vocational direction to sustain long term employment)
  • Rehabilitation and career counselling
  • Job seeking education and coaching
  • Job placement and work trials
  • Return to work plans

Lifetime Care and Support/Complex/Severe Claims

Depending on the insurance scheme or state where a motor vehicle or workplace accident occurs, those who have suffered a severe or complex lifelong injury may be eligible for lifetime care and support. 

Our experienced occupational therapists work with those who meet the eligibility criteria for lifelong care and support, as well as individuals working through long-term complex and severe claims from injury. These services aim to help those who have suffered a severe or complex injury to increase their independence, improve their ability to participate in their community and continue enjoying life.

Depending on each scheme, these services may include: 

  • Assessment to determine ongoing needs including equipment and support services.
  • Rehabilitation, such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
  • Provision of aids and equipment, such as wheelchairs.
  • Home and vehicle modifications.
  • Identification of need for care services such as domestic services, home and garden maintenance and assistance with personal care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once referred, you can expect a qualified allied health consultant with expertise in areas including occupational therapy, exercise physiology, physiotherapy, psychology, and/or rehabilitation counselling to manage your case according to your unique circumstances.

Typically, your assigned consultant will arrange an initial meeting between you, your employer (where relevant) and/or a nominated treating doctor to assess your current circumstances. They will review your needs, work with you to establish goals and identify an appropriate plan to support you through your recovery and return to work. Depending on the services you've been referred for, your assigned allied health consultant may facilitate regular monitoring of your progress against an established recovery and return to work plan and ensure additional support systems or services during the program, if required.

The role of your assigned allied health consultant is to empower, support and guide you through your recovery, and return to health, wellbeing and work. We provide practical recommendations and expertise to you and the organisation where you work (where relevant) with the view to maximise health potential. Your assigned consultant will coordinate your recovery program with all stakeholders involved to ensure you achieve an optimum outcome and can return to work quickly and safely. This may include discussions with your insurer, treatment providers, nominated treating doctor and employer as well as arranging referrals to other service providers within Altius Group or externally as deemed appropriate.
No, Altius Group Rehabilitation Services is an independent, accredited workplace rehabilitation provider. We are usually engaged directly by your insurer as an independent third party to deliver our expertise, as well as coordinate and plan your rehabilitation program. Whilst we do have direct involvement with your insurer, this is to ensure you can access all required services to support your active recovery and return to work. These include facilitating treatment approvals, providing recommendations to further support your rehabilitation, and providing regular updates regarding your progress and any potential barriers that may arise along the way.
We have office locations nationally throughout Australia including most major cities and regional centres. Moreover, we can also offer some remote services, such as telehealth, and travel to rural locations.
