Our focus is on helping you manage fatigue, reduce stress and return in a way that lasts.

Vocational Rehabilitation for a Safe Return to Work

Our vocational rehabilitation service helps you rebuild the skills, confidence and stamina needed for work.

We’ll support you to manage things like memory problems, low energy, decision-making and stress. Whether you’re going back to a familiar role or trying something new, we go step by step, at your pace.

We shape our occupational therapy around your life, not just your diagnosis — bringing in vocational rehabilitation to help you return to work when you’re ready.
