Need help with an injured worker?
A workplace rehabilitation provider supports employers by coordinating injury management and return-to-work plans that are safe, timely, and tailored to each job role. At AusRehab, we assist with early intervention, functional assessments, suitable duties planning, and communication with doctors and insurers. Our goal is to reduce lost time, improve recovery outcomes, and help you manage employer workers’ compensation support more efficiently.
Early intervention workplace injury programs ensure injured workers receive prompt assessment and treatment, often within 24 hours. This reduces delays in care, prevents complications, and supports faster return-to-work outcomes. Acting early means shorter claim durations, lower premiums, and less operational disruption, which is why early intervention is a key strategy in reducing workers’ compensation costs for employers.
Employers should refer an injured worker to a workplace rehabilitation provider as soon as an injury occurs, or if there’s any concern about the worker’s ability to return to their normal duties. Early referral allows for immediate triage, effective planning, and proactive coordination, which improves recovery time and claim outcomes. Delaying a referral can increase costs and time off work. Find out more in our blog about the Best Practices for Employers in Workplace Rehabilitation.
A preferred rehabilitation provider is a partner selected by an employer to handle all injury management and return-to-work services. This approach ensures consistency, faster response times, and a better understanding of your business needs. To nominate AusRehab, simply complete our online preferred provider nomination form. Once submitted, we’ll confirm your details, connect with your insurer, and begin supporting your workers.
During the RTW process, employers are responsible for maintaining open communication with the injured worker, providing suitable duties (when possible), and working with the rehabilitation provider to support a safe return. Employers also need to collaborate with treating doctors and insurers, monitor progress, and ensure the workplace remains safe and appropriate for modified or graduated duties.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) helps employers understand what an injured worker is physically and psychologically capable of doing. It provides objective data on the worker’s abilities, matched to the demands of their job. FCEs support decisions around suitable duties, RTW readiness, or redeployment, helping reduce risk and improve claim management accuracy. Read our blog here to learn more.

For injured workers, workplace rehabilitation means faster access to care, better support during recovery, and a safer path back to work.
