Register of Occupational Therapists

Helping our seriously injured workers regain independence through specialised assessments and tailored support.

ReturnToWorkSA has created a Register of Occupational Therapists to connect claims officers with professionals who have the skills and experience to deliver specialised assessment services for workers with severe, life-changing injuries.

Why this matters

When someone experiences a serious injury, daily life can change dramatically. The person may need lifelong support, from home and vehicle modifications to custom equipment and ongoing care planning. Occupational Therapists play a vital role in helping people live safely, comfortably, and independently.

Specialised assessment services include:

  • Care needs assessments
  • Home modification assessments
  • Vehicle modification assessments
  • Custom seating, wheelchair scripting and equipment recommendations.

The Register ensures that serious and catastrophically injured workers receive timely, high-quality assessments from Occupational Therapists equipped to address complex needs.

FAQs
