Injury Treatment

Injury Treatment has proven capacity and ability to provide RTW DE services as is reflected in our exceptional outcomes, with below average costs and durations. Not dissimilar to our SE model, our DE Program Integrait also adopts a strategic management approach to each individual case referred, this is supported by our Consultants who apply clinical and evidence based practice combined with vocational expertise to achieve

1. durable return to work and health outcomes for injured persons,
2. optimal financial outcomes for both agent and the workers compensation scheme.

Injury Treatment’s success in the delivery of Integrait is through both the expertise of our Consultants, consisting of experienced Registered Psychologists, Rehabilitation Counsellors and Allied Health Professionals (HR or Recruitment background), combined with our focus on the medical and vocational management of each claimant throughout the lifespan of each occupational rehabilitation case.

The primary objective of our Integrait DE model is:

1. Achievement of maximum medical improvement (physical or psychological) reflected in the injured worker’s medical certification;
2. Obtainment and sustainment of alternate employment aligned with the injured worker’s, medical capacity, transferable skills, interests, aptitude and pre-injury earnings combined with labour market research, employer feedback and Work Cover NSW vocational assessment and vocational retraining guidelines.

Our Integrait program also facilitates best practice, enabling:

• rapid assessment, intervention and vocational goal identification;
• thorough and concise vocational activities outlined within return to work plan;
• clear expectations of the injured worker throughout the job seeking process;
• intensity in job seeking services as provided by the Consultant
