A strong, healthy workforce is the foundation of a successful business.
When your team is injured, it costs time, money and emotional labour. That’s why we developed the Health@Work Program, a workplace-based initiative designed to help businesses reduce injuries, minimise downtime, and promote long-term employee wellbeing.
In this article we’re exploring:
- Why workplace injuries are so damaging
- How a workplace injury and assessment solution can help
- What we offer in terms of workplace health
Why Health@Work workplace injury assessments?
Workplace injuries don’t just affect individuals – they impact productivity, morale, and your bottom line. Through early intervention and proactive care, Health@Work helps businesses.
In recent years there have been over a 100,000 serious WorkCover claims in Australia per year and the time lost for a serious claim has been rising bringing the average compensation paid for a serious claim to almost $10,000 (Australian Workers’ Compensation Statistics, Safe Work Australia).
Despite these enormous costs most WorkCover cases can be resolved through comprehensive physiotherapy and a structured return to work program. Early intervention and best practice care are the most effective ways to support return to work and not only reduce the cost to businesses, but also to minimise work disability.
What We Offer
We offer a range of services to help your workplace avoid unnecessary costs and get your employees back on their feet as soon as possible.
You’ll recieve:
- Speedy injury assessment

- Industry best physiotherapy
- Worksite assessments to consult on work health and safety processes

Using this service for employees with work related injuries provides a method of early management for these injuries. This often means the injury can often be managed and resolved through physiotherapy without the need to lodge a WorkCover claim.
