Return To Work Consulting

Helping people back into action

Return to work consultations and counselling assist employers to meet their legal, contractual and duty of care obligations to staff who have been injured or become ill at work.

This service is based on the premise that many injured people can safely perform productive work at their place of work during the process of recovery. The workplace is seen as a vital part of the rehabilitation process because injured employees maintain social contact with colleagues and are provided with a sense of being productive and active.

Working in partnership with employers and employees, Converge International’s experienced consultants and counsellors provide a range of preventive and intervention services that contribute to improving safety and productivity in organisations.

These services can assist in development of policies and procedures that comply with OHS legislation and workers’ compensation schemes, provide case management for injured workers, develop injury management plans, provide psychological injury assessments and liaise with other specialists, such as insurers, doctors, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.
