Your business, your team, your plan

APM’s return to work service is tailored to your workplace, understanding that every situation is different

We use various assessments to understand your business, your workplace and the specific job tasks of your employees.

Usually the aim is for your employee to stay in their job, involving the development of a same employer return to work plan.

This means we assess your employee and your workplace, and make adjustments to daily job tasks, tools, equipment or the working environment, so they can gradually return to work safely.

If it's not possible to stay working for you, we explore suitable alternatives under our new employer return to work approach.

New employer return to work services mean we spend more time to help your employee identify and find alternative work.

Our support includes coaching for job searches, applications, resume building and interview preparation.

We match your employee to jobs and opportunities suitable for their skills, experience and capabilities.

Whichever approach we take, we make sure your employee gets the support they need to return to work and successfully adapt to job changes.

If you have an injured employee, make a referral today and let's get to work on supporting your team.

Don't wait until it's too late

An effective return to work process will reduce the costly impact of injury for you and your employee

We know how important it is to act as early as possible to increase the likelihood of a successful return to work and reduce the costs and impact on your business.
 

Rehabilitation costs for referrals made 12 months after an injury are approximately 40 per cent higher than referrals received earlier.

The time it takes someone to return to work is also 50 per cent longer.

We pride ourselves on our tailored service and providing real value by working closely with insurers, medical services and your injured employee to improve outcomes.

Let’s get to work on saving you time and money with the right plan for your team.
