For Employers & RTW Coordinators

Occupational Rehabilitation for Your Workforce

Workplace injury costs more than the claim. Lost productivity, retraining, overtime cover, and morale all add up long before a WorkCover payment is made. Kinetic Medicine works with employers, RTW coordinators, and case managers across regional NSW and VIC to manage risk at every stage of the employment lifecycle — before someone is hired, while they're on the job, and if they're injured and working their way back.

Our occupational rehabilitation service is built around three pillars: pre-employment screening, employee wellbeing, and return to work.

Our Three Pillars

A coordinated approach across the full employment lifecycle — from the moment someone applies, through their time on the job, to getting them safely back on the tools if they're injured.

Pillar One

Pre-Employment Screening

A pre-employment physical assessment determines whether a candidate can safely perform the physical demands of a role, reducing injury risk and WorkCover liability from day one.

  • Functional capacity assessment matched to specific duty requirements
  • Musculoskeletal screening for manual handling and physically demanding roles
  • Clear, defensible reporting for HR and hiring managers

Pillar Two

Employee Wellbeing

Most workplace injuries are preventable with early intervention. We identify risk before it becomes a claim — through movement screening, manual handling training, and ergonomic assessment.

  • On-site or in-clinic movement and manual handling assessments
  • Early intervention pathways for niggling pain before it becomes a claim
  • Ergonomic and task-specific injury prevention advice

Pillar Three

Return to Work

When a worker is injured, getting them safely back on the tools is a coordinated process. We work directly with icare, WorkCover NSW, and SIRA case managers.

  • Functional capacity evaluation (FCE) to determine safe duty levels
  • Graduated return-to-work planning, from light duties through to full clearance
  • Direct liaison with icare, SIRA, and WorkCover NSW case managers

FAQ

Occupational rehabilitation covers the services that help employers manage injury risk and recovery across the employment lifecycle, including pre-employment screening, injury prevention, and return-to-work support for injured workers.

A functional capacity evaluation measures a worker's physical ability to safely perform job-specific tasks. It's used both before hiring and during return-to-work planning to determine what duties someone can safely take on.

A pre-employment physical assessment determines whether a candidate can safely perform the physical demands of a role before they're hired. Employers use it to reduce injury risk and WorkCover liability from day one, rather than discovering a mismatch after someone starts.

Early intervention means a worker reporting pain or discomfort gets assessed quickly, often resolving the issue before it escalates into a formal claim, lost time, or long-term liability. The earlier an issue is addressed, the lower the cost and disruption.
