Rehabilitation Counsellor focused on early intervention, return-to-work services, and psychologically and physically safe workplaces.
What I'm looking for
At Prestige Health Services Australia Pty Ltd, I managed end-to-end rehabilitation services across WorkSafe Victoria, SIRA NSW, life insurance, self-insured, and TAC frameworks. I completed workplace, vocational, and job assessments and supported return-to-work planning and case management.
As Operations Manager (VIC/TAS) at Prestige Health Services Australia Pty Ltd, I managed a team of 15 allied health professionals and oversaw service delivery for WorkSafe VIC, Woolworths Self-Insured, and TAC contracts. I also led quality assurance and governance across service delivery.
At Nabenet, I managed health services spanning early intervention, workplace health and safety, training, and testing. I also led a return-to-work coordinator and supervisor training roadshow to promote early intervention outcomes.
My goal is to deliver early intervention services that foster psychologically and physically safe communities and workplaces. I believe good work is good for our health, and I strive to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
