What is Ergonomic and Workplace Therapy?
Ergonomic and workplace therapy focuses on optimising the design and setup of work environments to prevent musculoskeletal injuries, reduce discomfort, and improve overall well-being. By assessing how individuals interact with their workspaces, we can identify potential issues related to posture, repetitive tasks, or physical strain, and recommend practical adjustments.
Our services include workstation assessments, ergonomic modifications, injury rehabilitation, and preventative strategies to ensure that employees can work comfortably and efficiently.
Our goal is to create supportive work environments that reduce the risk of injury and promote long-term health and well-being.

What’s Involved in Ergonomic and Workplace Therapy?
Our ergonomic and workplace therapy services are highly personalised and designed to meet the specific needs of each individual and work environment. The process typically includes:
Initial Consultation and Assessment:
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your workplace setup, identifying any ergonomic risks or areas of discomfort. This includes evaluating desk and chair height, monitor placement, lighting, and overall workstation layout.
Physical Assessment:
For individuals experiencing discomfort or injury, we assess your physical abilities, posture, and body mechanics to identify potential contributors to your pain or strain.
Personalised Recommendations:
Based on the assessment, we provide detailed recommendations to improve your workstation’s ergonomics. This may include adjusting your desk height, chair positioning, or recommending ergonomic equipment to enhance comfort and reduce strain.
Therapeutic Interventions:
For individuals recovering from a workplace injury, we provide rehabilitation services, including stretches, exercises, and movement techniques to support your recovery and prevent further injury.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments:
We continuously monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure that your workplace setup supports long-term health and productivity.

Is Ergonomic and Workplace Therapy Covered by Medicare?
Ergonomic and workplace therapy services may not typically be covered by Medicare unless they are part of a broader injury rehabilitation plan.
However, if you’ve sustained a workplace injury, WorkCover or other insurance schemes may cover the cost of workplace assessments and rehabilitation. Additionally, if you are an NDIS participant, ergonomic support may be funded through your plan.
We recommend discussing your funding options with your employer, healthcare provider, or insurance representative to explore available options.
