2025 Recap! As we reach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to reflect on what a great year 2025 has been! 
 
We were part of the Commonwealth Bank and Matilda’s campaign to support small businesses and had our company promoted around Sydney. We were so lucky to be part of this campaign and want to thank CBA and the Matildas for their support! 
 
Some delicious work lunches were had, including a rice paper roll making session. We also has some amazing therapy sessions with our clients, some Uni students joined us for their placement, and work experience student Ashleigh joined us for a fun week in the Canberra office! 
 
After a significant neurological health event 4 years ago which led to epilepsy, Fi had been working very very hard and finally achieved her goal of getting back behind the wheel this year! 
 
We attended many events like the ACT Insurance Ball, an AT training summit, Deaf Festival in Sydney, and CPR/First Aid Training. 
 
Overall we would say it has been a pretty good year. We are so glad we get to do the work we do, and get to help people achieve their goals! Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to working with you in 2026!

Time for our last staff spotlight for 2025 - Meet Ange! 
 
Ange is one of our amazing EPs here at TRS, she also works in the rehab space and is our clinical team lead. She has been with TRS for 1.5 years and we are so appreciative of all the work she does. 
 
When Ange isn’t hard at work during the day, she will try and get away with her family in the caravan and explore the outdoors. She enjoys playing sport, fine dining and is a big beach lover! After all, her favourite season is Summer! 
 
Ange also loves dumplings and says that if she can only have one food for the rest of her life, dumplings would have to be it! 
 
Thank you for all the work you do for us Ange! TRS wouldn’t be the same without you.

Do you know what today is?

It’s Tip Tuesday!

Today’s tip is on Workstation assessments!

Here at the Rehabilitation Specialists, we provide office and home-based ergonomic workstation assessments as either preventative measure or to address a specific concern that has been raised. This could be an injury or an area of discomfort.

So, what is an ergonomic workstation assessment?

An ergonomic workstation assessment involves evaluating your workplace set up to ensure it promotes comfort, efficiency and health to minimise the risk of injury. These assessments help identify potential hazards and provide recommendations to improve posture and enhance overall wellbeing.

Here are some tips for improving your workstation setup:

Make sure your thighs running parallel to the ground with hips and knees at 90 degrees.

Make sure your feet are placed firmly on the ground. If that’s not possible, elevate your feet by using a footrest.

Have your forearms and shoulders resting just above desk height. Make sure your shoulders are relaxed and not hunched.

Make sure head stays upright and your eyes are in line with the top third of the screen.

If you want some extra tips for your time at the office. Throughout the day, make sure you take stretch breaks or go for a walk. You can also use the 20/20/20 rule: for at least 20 seconds, focus on a object 20 meters away every 20 minutes.

If you would like an ergonomic workstation assessment, book in with one of our team members today!

Can an employment consultant help me look for jobs and if so, how?

Come meet our Employment Consultant, Megan!

Megan has a range of ways that she can help find a job. She can help you with the traditional routes like Seek, Indeed and Linkedin.

Another way that she can help you, is by calling employers to see if they have any positions that may not be advertised to the public. So you can get the first shot at the job before it is advertised.

With the help from Megan, we can help you on the road to employment.

When you’re sitting at your desk, we know you will be thanking Megan for the work she did with you!

At TRS, one thing that our OT’s and rehab consultants work together with is social prescribing!

As part of our social prescribing, we take time to understand your needs and what your challenges and goals may be. We then look at what barriers you might face, such as communication difficulties, social isolation or trouble accessing services.

When it comes to the NDIS, community health, or disability service, we help you navigate these systems. If you do face barries like language, disability, or transport, we can advocate on your behalf to make sure you get the support you need.

The team at TRS will provide ongoing support and will check in with you to help you set new goals as they change, and adjust your plan as needed. Our support is holistic focussing on your health, wellbeing and participation in everyday life.

If you feel like you want to be more social and need some help with taking that step, come book in with one of our friendly team members!

We will be with you every step of the way!

The countdown is on, do you know what happens in 23 days?
In 23 days, kids will be waking up to a visit of the one and only Santa Claus!

Christmas is a great time, as you there is no better time to reflect on the past year and celebrate everything you have achieved. The Christmas holiday is a time to spend time with those you love, and it gives you the opportunity to sit around laughing and eating some delicious food with the ones who have helped you get through this year.

Something fun that we have already seen around, is when you go to the shops you will be able to see everyone start getting into the Christmas spirit. If you go for a drive at night, you might see houses light up with their Christmas lights too!

How will you be spending your time till Christmas?
Will learn to play a Christmas song on a new instrument?
Will you plan on giving back to the community?

Or will this year be the year that you finally catch Saint Nick, and ask him everything you ever wanted to know?
If that’s your plan, start coming up with ideas!

Last week we had the lovely Ashleigh join us for some work experience! She is very interested in studying OT and wanted to get a look into the life of an OT!

She got to attend some therapy sessions and even an AT trial, as well as making some resources for the team.

Thanks Ashleigh for joining us for the week! We hope you had a blast!

November, a month with 30 days.

Also, a month with four important birthdays, Jenny, Dillon, Megan and Brad!

Since they all started, each of these people have played valuable roles in helping our clients achieve their goals. Jenny is our Registered Nurse in the rehab space here at TRS. Both Dillon and Brad are some of our wonderful EPs with Dillon working in Canberra, while Brad works in the Sydney office. Then Megan is our Employment Consultant, who is always helping people find the job of their dreams.

All of these fantastic people are valued members of our wonderful team, and we wouldn’t be able to succeed without their hard work!

All of us here at TRS hope you had a great birthday!

On Wednesday 12th of November TRS were lucky enough to have Carly from Carly’s Helping Hearts come and deliver Defib, CPR and First Aid training to the team.

This training was undertaken by our EPs and Practice Manager Cassie!  
 
Most of our team had done the training before, but it was a good refresher for us all to make sure that our first aid training is all up to date and we are able to assist others in an emergency. 
 
We were joined on this training by some of the team at Hybrid Athletic as well! .cbr

Thanks so much Carly for leading the training!

Happy Tuesday everyone! How did you sleep last night? Have you been struggling to sleep and have no energy the next day?...

Happy Tuesday everyone!

How did you sleep last night?

Have you been struggling to sleep and have no energy the next day?

Today we are here to give you some tips on how to get a better night's sleep. The first step is to set a regular bedtime and wake up at the same time every morning, as doing this will help regulate your body clock.

If you want a better sleep, turn off any device before bed. Backlit devices before bed can simulate your mind and make it harder to fall asleep. To also make it easier to fall asleep, you can cut down your caffeine and alcohol before bed. Having these before bed can impact your sleep quality and ability to fall asleep.

We also recommend creating a bedtime ritual to help your body wind down. Some of these rituals can be, reading a chapter of a book, having a bath/ shower, or doing some light stretches.

If you are wondering how much sleep it is suggested to have, it is between 7 and 9 hours a night. Some effects if you don’t get enough sleep include: Fatigue, reduced creativity and problem solving, inability to cope with stress, reduced immunity, impaired motor skills and increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other health problems.

If you have been feeling these symptoms, it might be time to take a step back and have a look at your habits! If you have any questions, contact our team at TRS!

Time for our next staff spotlight - Hannah! About two years ago, Hannah joined our team as an EP and has thrived since then.

When you think about hobbies that people have, you think people stay with one or two hobbies for months, if not years right? That’s not the case with Hannah; Hannah has said that she has a new hobby every week! But one thing that Hannah does everyday is go to the gym!

Now going to the gym everyday might seem pretty normal for some people, but something that makes Hannah stand out is her two pets. Hannah doesn’t have the types of pets that you normally see, like dogs and cats – She has two goats, Billy and Sophia!

We love having you on our team Hannah and look forward to a future giving our clients the opportunity to fulfill their goals!
