I founded The Rehabilitation Specialists in 2012 and the initial goal was to make a difference and to truly “rehabilitate” individuals recovering from illness and injuries, predominantly in the workplace rehabilitation industry. As our business has continued to grow from a team of three to now a team of nearly 40 allied health professionals and support staff, with a united goal of making a meaningful different to people’s lives, every day. This growth has been achieved through developing a strong reputation initially in the ACT and surrounds for delivering high quality, tailored, innovative and client centred solutions. We have been able to leverage our reputation and brand to launch our NDIS services in late 2018 in the ACT, and to gradually expand our services to NSW.

Our overall business vision is to continue to make a meaningful difference to individuals, workplaces and their communities every day, though delivering high quality and tailored face to face services in Sydney and Canberra, with regional outreach services in surrounding areas, and telehealth services nationwide.

Our dedicated team of seasoned health professionals is committed to providing top-tier rehabilitation services tailored to your needs.

I would like to thank Fiona for her professionalism and commitment in maintaining a great connection with the employee and appreciate her tenacity in ensuring that every stone was unturned in order for this employee to have made a good and informed decision moving forward.

Working with Fiona is always a pleasure and I always know I am going to get appropriate outcomes and value for money with her onboard.

This case was a little tricky given the minimal engagement of the GP and the employee’s severity of their condition and treatment. This case was a stop start case with continued curveballs being thrown and we had to be a little creative in finding an outcome that would benefit all involved. This case ended up with a change of three WRP’s due to unforeseen circumstances however, was executed effectively with minimal disruption.

I would like to thank The Rehabilitation Specialist for their continued support and professionalism.

We have found The Rehabilitation Specialists to be very responsive to our requests. The consultants have provided tailored and comprehensive support to our injured workers. The return to work coaching has proven to be very beneficial in supporting injured workers and in meeting the rehabilitation goals. We would highly recommend the Rehab Specialists to other agencies.

I have found the rehabiliation specialists team to be very supportive, with a high quality of service to our Agency and clients. Feedback and communication being outstanding.
