At The Physio Centre we are able to assist businesses and workplaces with early management of their workplace injuries. Commonly referred to as Early Intervention Physiotherapy, the normal process is for the business to directly contact the clinic for an appointment for their injured worker on the day of injury.

Following assessment and treatment an email will be sent to the relative party to describe:

•   onset of injury,
•   mechanism of injury,
•   diagnosis,
•   initial treatment,
•   workplace restrictions,
•   likelihood of progression to a Workcover claim,
•   any biopsychosocial flags which may impact on recovery

(see https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/207709/ISBN-Clinical-framework-for-the-delivery-of-health-services-2012-06.pdf)

• prognosis

Early intervention has been shown to maximise injured workers’ RTW and reduce need for claims, resulting in lower premiums for you the employer.
