Don’t Tell Me I Can’t!

don't tell me

David Todd has a passion for work. Not to work, or about work – he passionately wanted to be at work, to have a job; to make a contribution. It has been an honour to work alongside David Todd, his family and his rehabilitation team to assist David not only return to work following a motor vehicle accident; but also to maintain this job and thrive. His family will often speak of the enormous benefit that being at work has had for David across his whole life. David left a remarkable … [Read more...]

Marketing. It’s Easy – Simply Solve A Problem

solve a problem

As allied health and rehabilitation professionals, we are often asked to provide solution focused intervention.

Well, good question. It relates perfectly, because if you know how to offer a solution to a client, then you know how to market … [Read more...]

Can I really INFLUENCE a NTD, GP or Treating Health Professional?

Have you ever stopped to consider that Rehabilitation Consultants have an incredible opportunity to INFLUENCE Medical and Treating Health Practitioners to help them to see the needs of their patients in the context of returning to work? Are you like me? I thought I had a great ability to get the information I needed from GP’s and Treating Health Professionals.  It would always take me a long time; and it would mean I needed to organise case conferences very regularly but I got the … [Read more...]

OR, does it wait until you made a bit of a boo boo at work because you weren't up to date ( that's embarrassing huh!) Well here you go, some new changes have been made to the SRC Act that came into effect as of 7 Dec 2011. I thought these were kind of important and would be a helpful thing to know..... so straight from the Comcare … [Read more...]
