Vocational Rehabilitation

Workplace rehabilitation, also known as vocational rehabilitation, is a service that helps injured individuals return to work or stay at work.

At Habit Health, we support team members who are off work or facing challenges performing and staying on the job due to injuries. We will assess individual needs and create a personalised rehabilitation and return-to-work plan to help your team member recover quickly. Whether your business is big or small, we can tailor our services to fit your need.

We help the injured person to access the care they need much sooner so they can maximise their recovery and work participation.

This service is fully funded for covered injuries by ACC

ACC fully funds this service, so there will be no extra cost to your business. Right now, if the injured person has an ACC claim, you can refer them straight to us without ACC needing to coordinate the referral.

How it works

Our vocational rehabilitation team will coordinate with the employer, injured team member and their GP. We will identify individual needs and develop a rehabilitation and return-to-work plan to help the team member recover as soon as possible.

We help determine:

Workplace injury type and limitation in fulfilling their duties at work
Injury prognosis and likely recovery programme

As part of their programme, we may advise on amending their working hours and modifying selected duties until the employee is back to feeling their best. Each injury is unique, so we use the latest evidence-based approach to achieve the best result for all.

vocational consultants
careers advisors
support staff members

Whether it be a workplace related injury or an injury that happened outside work, we can help.
