Commonwealth Bank and Matildas Campaign: Supporting Small Businesses

We are thrilled to announce that The Rehabilitation Specialists (TRS) is featured in the latest Commonwealth Bank and Matildas campaign, a wonderful initiative designed to support small businesses – just like ours!

Recently, our inspiring Managing Director, Fiona Fonti, had the incredible opportunity to meet Cameron, a star from Married at First Sight, to discuss both the campaign and the growth of TRS. This exciting partnership has opened many doors, and we are proud to share that TRS will be featured on Commonwealth Bank billboards throughout Sydney and mentioned in radio campaigns across New South Wales!

The Story Behind The Rehabilitation Specialists

The Rehabilitation Specialists (TRS) began its journey on June 18, 2012, when Fiona Fonti recognized a growing demand for boutique, workplace rehabilitation services. Motivated by a desire to provide personalized and effective rehabilitation solutions, Fiona founded TRS to cater to businesses and individuals in need of expert rehabilitation and support.

TRS Expansion Milestones

After a year of offering services from clients’ homes, The Rehabilitation Specialists officially opened its first office in Canberra on January 1, 2013. This move provided a dedicated space for innovation, collaboration, and enhanced service to our clients. Our growth continued, and in 2015, we relocated to a larger office in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) to accommodate our expanding team and client base.

In 2018, TRS reached a significant milestone when we became a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider in the ACT, enabling us to extend our services to those with disabilities in the region.

The year 2020 marked another important chapter as we opened our Sydney office, expanding our services to better serve the Sydney region. Most recently, in 2025, we relocated to a larger office space right in the heart of Sydney, providing ample room for continued growth and a commitment to offering the best in workplace rehabilitation services.

Join Us on Our Exciting Journey!

Being part of the Commonwealth Bank and Matildas campaign is an exciting milestone for us. Keep an eye out for The Rehabilitation Specialists on billboards across Sydney and listen for our mention in radio campaigns throughout New South Wales!

As a growing business, we’re constantly moving forward and expanding our reach. We are excited about the future and the positive impact we continue to make in the workplace rehabilitation industry.

Erin Returns to The Rehabilitation Specialists – A Leader Back in Action

Some people are just meant to be part of the team, and Rehabilitation Specialist Erin is one of them! After spending a year with us, she took a break for two and a half years—but now, Rehabilitation Specialist Erin returns, and we couldn’t be more excited.

If you don’t already know Erin, let’s reintroduce you to this Rehabilitation Specialist, indoor-plant enthusiast, and 80s rock devotee, whose expertise and passion for rehabilitation services make a real difference in the lives of injured workers.

An Experienced Rehabilitation Specialist Returns

With over nine years of experience, Erin has developed a strong background in rehabilitation services, claims management, and injury recovery. She has worked as both an Exercise Physiologist and a rehabilitation provider across multiple schemes, including:

✅ Workers’ Compensation – ACT, NSW, VIC, WA
✅ Compulsory Third Party (CTP) – ACT & NSW
✅ Life Insurance & Comcare – Extensive experience in claims management

Erin has also worked as a Claims Manager and Account Manager for self-insured licensees within the Comcare scheme, making her highly skilled in the administration of the SRC Act.

Beyond her corporate roles, Erin has worked clinically in the NDIS space, particularly focusing on mental health rehabilitation. Her deep understanding of the barriers to engagement and recovery allows her to empower injured workers to regain their health, confidence, and ability to return to work.

Leading the Way at The Rehabilitation Specialists

Now that Rehabilitation Specialist Erin returns, she is stepping into a key leadership role as our Head of Rehabilitation and Government Services Lead. With her extensive experience across various schemes, she is perfectly positioned to:

Mentor & Lead our rehabilitation consultants, helping them navigate complex cases
Conduct Strategic File Reviews, providing expertise on progressing claims effectively
Enhance Team Skills, ensuring our specialists are equipped to achieve the best outcomes for clients and stakeholders

Her ability to break down barriers and find solutions for complex rehabilitation cases is what makes Erin such an asset to our team—and to the injured workers we support.

Beyond Work: Erin’s Passions & Personality

When she’s not guiding our rehabilitation team, Erin loves to unwind with simple pleasures:

Tending to her ever-growing collection of indoor plants
☀️ Going for relaxing walks with friends
Jamming to her favorite band, Gang of Youths, on road trips (often on the way to buy more plants!)

But if Erin could live anywhere in the world? She’d pick Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory—because nothing beats chocolate, her ultimate guilty pleasure!

We’re Thrilled That Rehabilitation Specialist Erin Returns!

Erin’s return marks an exciting chapter for The Rehabilitation Specialists. Her leadership, expertise, and infectious passion for helping people make her an invaluable part of our team.

Check out our full range of rehabilitation services to see how we help individuals and businesses every day.

Join us in welcoming Erin back! We can’t wait to see the incredible impact she’ll continue to make—one client at a time.
