Vocational Rehabilitation
Vocational rehabilitation is a vital service within the field of occupational medicine, dedicated to helping injured or ill employees return to work or transition to new employment opportunities. Occupational medicine specialists, alongside other allied health professionals, assess the employee’s functional capacities, work environment, and job requirements to develop tailored rehabilitation plans. By promoting recovery and job retention, vocational rehabilitation not only benefits the individual but also supports organisational productivity and reduces the financial burden of workplace injuries on both the employer and the employee.
