‘Return To Work’ (RTW) scheme with Dr. Cassandra Zaina – 2023

On 16th of Nov 2023, we hosted Dr. Cassandra Zaina in the clinic to discuss the ‘Return To Work’ (RTW) scheme and how allied health practitioners can best assist injured workers return back to their working duties, as safely and efficiently as possible.
🤝We’d love to extend a big thank you to Cassandra for giving her time to be a guest speaker – she is an absolute wealth of knowledge! We are very grateful for all the fantastic information she had to share with us, and we know how much our clients will benefit because of her generosity in sharing her years of experience in this field.
💡Some of the key takeaways from this session include
🔵Physio’s can apply for extended consults with their workcover clients in order to gather detailed understanding of their injury and what is needed in their recovery.
🔵Early communication with the case manager is paramount in setting the long-term management of a patient.
🔵In some cases, a multi-disciplinary approach is important to ensure a holistic approach (Physio’s shouldn’t feel the need to ‘treat it all’ if it is out of their scope).
🔵Worksite visits with the patient can help us gather a lot more information about the physical demands of their work.
🧑‍🔧If you or anyone else you know has suffered from a work-related injury, we would love to help out!! 😀
