Vocational rehabilitation, medico-legal and return to work asssessors specialise in assessments that focus on working after accident, illness or injury.
Panel of workplace assessors
The workplace assessors listed in the Workplace Adjustment Tool are part of a panel of assessors formed by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations as part of the Workplace Modifications Scheme.
The Workplace Modifications Scheme pays for the costs involved in modifying the workplace or purchasing special or adaptive equipment for eligible employees with disability. Under the Scheme, the JobAccess Advisers will assess the need for a workplace assessment and organise the assessment, at no cost to the employer or employee, with one of the professionals listed in the panel. Alternatively, an employer can approach a panel member independently for a paid assessment.
For more information about workplace assessments under the Workplace Modifications Scheme, call the JobAccess Advisers on 1800 464 800.
