WHAT IS RETURN-TO-WORK

Outsourced Return to Work Coordination.

Prevention is always the goal. But injuries happen, and when they do, every week a claim drifts costs your business money and costs your worker their best chance of recovery. Actevate is the independent, Australian-owned rehabilitation provider that gets people back safely and sustainably.

Our multidisciplinary team works collaboratively with employers, employees and medical professionals to develop practical strategies that support recovery while minimising disruption to the workplace. This approach leads to:

Reduced claim costs
Shorter injury life cycles
Safer and more sustainable return to work outcomes
THE COST OF WAITING

A claim doesn’t stand still. It drifts (and drift is expensive)

Safe, swift and sustainable return to work has never mattered more: return to work rates are falling nationally, the cost of rehabilitation keeps rising, and the longer a claim runs, the worse the outcome for everyone. Here’s what the drift looks like.

WHY CHOOSE US

A whole-person model that supports recovery and reduces claim escalation.

Actevate takes a whole-person approach to injury management and rehabilitation. We recognise that both physical and psychological factors influence recovery and return to work outcomes.

Through early intervention and proactive risk identification, we help prevent minor injuries from escalating into complex claims.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH: PATHWAYS

We see the secondary psychological injury coming before it arrives.

Pathways is Actevate’s innovative digital screening solution, built to identify workers whose recovery and employment are likely to be compromised by mental health factors or a reduced desire to return to work.

That early warning lets us work with all stakeholders to find a solution for all parties, before a straightforward physical claim becomes a complex psychological one.

YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE

Did you know you can nominate your preferred rehabilitation provider?

Many employers don’t realise they have a say in which workplace rehabilitation provider supports their claims. You do. The choice of provider is discussed between you, your worker and the insurer, and you’re free to nominate Actevate from the start of a claim or request a change on an existing one.

We work in partnership with insurers every day and many of our referrals come directly from them. Nominating us doesn’t put you at odds with your insurer. It simply puts a provider you’ve chosen on your claim.

PARTNERING WITH US

Already have someone managing Return to Work internally?

Choosing outsourced health and safety is not the same as replacing your internal resources. Many of our clients at Actevate have some form of in-house capabilities (often an HR lead, office manager, or facilities coordinator) who fits health and safety in around their main job function. What the outsourced service does is multiply what that person can achieve.

We act as an extension of your team. We bring the strategic frameworks, regulatory expertise, and specialised tools that your in-house champion needs to stay compliant.
