My clients are fellow humans with families first and foremost, just like me. Treating them like a ‘client number’ is not my style and I know they appreciate that. Check out my latest positive feedback.

If you know someone in the DVA space who would like some assistance, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Celebrating a win today as I sent another happy client back to his full-time role.

Qualifications, experience and skills are all important in my role, but communication skills are vital!

Today I completed my first aid certificate with Rod Brown at New Focus First Aid. If you're due to get your first aid or CRP certificates, I can highly recommend Rod. His class is the most practical, hands on training I've had before. Rod has over 20 years experience as a paramedic and over 10 years experience training first aiders like myself.

Last week I returned 2 clients to work.

Client 1 works in childcare has sustained a lower back injury. After 10 weeks on suitable duties, regular Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology and attention to manual handling techniques my client is back to full time work.

Client 2 works in agriculture and also had a lower back injury. My client required a new role that didn't involve so much bending and twisting. Host emoyment, a vocational assessment and job prep services such as a nice new resume, cover letter and job seeking support, set my client up for his new role.

If you'd like help returning your injured workers to work contact me to see how I can help.

As a sole trader working from home it's easy to not move a lot and not have a lot of social interaction, so I thought I'd give Toowoomba Park Run a crack. It's event #380 today, I wonder if any if my connections are participating? Feel free to reach out. It would be good to do this with someone.

Today I have successfully placed two of my clients in host employment.

Client 1 required a workplace that could offer flexible hours and minimal manual handling. My client sustained a neck injury requiring surgery and can not lift or carry loads greater than 5kg. My client will be supporting her host employer with COVID cleaning and assisting lifestyle programs in disability support starting at 9 hours per week.

Client 2 required a work place that could offer flexible hours with minimal customer contact. My client as no physical limitations but has post traumatic stress following a workplace incident. My client requires a gradual reintroduction to a low stress work environment. She is now assisting the host employer stocking shelves and stock take duties starting at 9 hours per week.

If you would like to join my network of host employers I am very keen to hear from you. Please feel free to contact to have an obligation free chat.

Can anyone guess where I am?

Rural workplace assessments are one of my favourite parts about my job now. The change of scenery is almost as good as a holiday.

The purpose of a workplace assessment is to determine if a workplace can provide suitable duties. This is entirely dependent on the workers injury, current capacity and medical restrictions.

If you're thinking of being a host employer, my first step is to match the right worker to your business. Then we conduct a workplace assessment to confirm that the duties are suitable to the worker.
