One of the most common reasons clients come to RESTORATIVE is to find solutions to work related problems when leaving their job is just not an option but staying feels even harder. Having advocated for clients for close to a decade, RESTORATIVE are here to help you know what your rights are within employment and advise how to best manage your work injury from the day it happens, as the timeline following an injury or illness might not look or feel like expected. RESTORATIVE support and plan with you the workplace modifications and adjustments you are entitled to for your work duties and work environment.

Injuries at work can be physical from falls and can also be psychological caused from prolonged stress after experiencing bullying or workplace harassment. RESTORATIVE specialise in Australian workers compensation legislation through Workcover or Worksafe as well as Comcare the Australian Government Workers Compensation Scheme and are experienced in all insurer regulators in your state or territory. You are entitled to choose your independent treating team to guide you through your rehabilitation from a work-related injury or illness, not the one suggested by your employer or insurer.​

Injuries that are traumatic affect the whole life of a person – not just work. Adjustment counselling helps clients understand and plan for what their ‘new normal’ is and what steps they can take with support to get to where they want to be. This could be living independently, returning to work or socialising with friends again without their injuries being all they talk and think about. RESTORATIVE are also trained in providing adapted Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for anxiety and depression following brain injury and also individual cognitive impairment rehabilitation treatment to improve memory, attention and processing speed for injuries to the frontal lobe of the brain.
​

Sometimes having meetings with HR and your supervisor just isn’t resolving the problem you have and is actually causing more stress. In these instances RESTORATIVE offer mediation and co-mediation services in the workplace dispute resolution space. With the support of the mediator, participants identify issues, consider alternatives and make decisions about future outcomes. At RESTORATIVE, mediators act as an independent third party to support participants to reach their own future actions. Each case is managed and resolved with the highest level of professionalism and confidentiality.
​

The impact of ongoing and chronic pain resulting from an injury or illness for a client extends beyond them and often times impacts their families who struggle to understand. RESTORATIVE provided tailored, evidence-based chronic pain management counselling treatment to provide clients with strategies to implement in their daily life to feel better and more like themselves again.​

Part of feeling ‘normal’ is returning to work after an injury, but sometimes the same type of work isn’t possible for our clients. RESTORATIVE can provide tailored career vocational counselling, vocational and transferrable skills assessments and sessions focused on how to disclose your injury appropriately and confidently in job interviews with new employers. Returning to work after an injury can also involve retraining and upskilling which you are entitled to have considered as part of a workers compensation claim.
