Early intervention is critical to the successful rehabilitation of psychological illnesses. Our program includes a comprehensive assessment of risks and barriers, as well as liaison with Treating Health Professionals to understand the individual’s symptoms, diagnosis and prognosis as well as to establish their capacity to participate in a return to work program. An early return to work for psychological illness is key to minimising disability and maximising a sustained and successful outcome.

This coaching service assists managers to understand psychological illnesses including anxiety disorders, depression and stress related conditions and the impact these have in the workplace.
