Purpose of the Service

Initial Needs Vocational Rehabilitation Assessment is to provide a full picture of the individual's current situation to facilitate an early return to work

What is an Initial Needs Vocational Rehabilitation Assessment?

This
assessment (sometimes known as a Return to Work [RTW] Assessment) aims to establish rapport and engage the person early in their
vocational rehabilitation programme. We use a holistic approach to gather
information to gain a full picture of the individual’s current situation
including symptoms, treatment, physical, cognitive and mental functioning
together with psychosocial strengths and barriers to returning to work. If the claimant is not ready for a RTW the assessor will identify any treatment, preparation or assistance required to assist the individual to move into employment. This may include a Vocational Action Plan for the individual to identify Vocational Goals and steps to achieve the goal which provides the basis for rehabilitation and vocational case management.

This information is included in a comprehensive report that identifies the individuals needs and provides recommendations
to overcome the identified barriers and support the person and their employer with their return to work. A costed
Rehab Plan with timeframes will be provided to assist the insurer.

Who is this suitable for?

This type of assessment is helpful for people with a disability or health condition where their rehabilitation potential is unknown or it is felt they may benefit from assistance to return to or remain in work. It will help the insurer to understand what assistance is required to achieve a safe and sustained return to work. It is also helpful in cases where the individual has a deteriorating condition and their work situation needs to be reassessed.

Kind words from our clients

Ergocom provided in depth consultation covering a phased return to work plan, equipment for both home and workplace that would help with recovery and advice surrounding how colleagues could help in the workplace. The phased return to work plan was successful in that the return to work has now been sustained over a number of years.

Ergocom provided me with a friendly, approachable and very professional consultant who encouraged me where I felt I was regularly failing. Sue is just fantastic. I was speaking to someone who actually understood and who helped and supported me in a caring and constructive manner, which is what I so desperately needed. I have struggled badly, but this is the first decently sustained return to work after I had four failed attempts over a 16 month period.

It has been good to look back from when I was recovering from the operation, to getting back to work and to where I am now.  Christa’s support meant that I did not have to stress about work, and that I was not going to be forced into work before I was ready.  The ‘hand-holding’ when I did start work was important - I needed someone one to say, “no, not yet’ and “OK, now you are ready to give it a go".

It’s been really good having you working on the account and I have really valued your input (and wisdom ) on the wide variety of cases we have.

Support from Ergocom has been a great asset in my rehabilitation and return to work. Being able to speak to a third party with an understanding of the difficulties of returning from a major illness and surgery has been an invaluable source of comfort and support through the “ups and downs”.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have made it back to where I am now without your help. My doctor also said that he has been very impressed with how my employer has handled my return, and I believe that a lot of that credit must go to you. I was dreading returning to work, but you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be.

The help and advice I have received has been invaluable. The guidance and support provided to me has given me the tools I needed to work with my employer to ensure an amicable agreement during my return to work.
