AHPRA-registered OTs who visit your workplace, assess the job demands, and write reports your insurer and employer will accept.
A workplace OT assessment looks at the person, the job and the environment together. Our mobile OTs travel to your worksite to assess ergonomics, task demands, physical and cognitive requirements, and the fit with your current capacity. We write clear, practical reports covering workstation adjustments, modified duties, equipment recommendations and injury prevention strategies.

Workplace OT assessments across four states
A workplace OT assessment looks at the person, the job and the environment together. Unlike a standard ergonomic review, it brings a clinical lens to the fit between your current physical and cognitive capacity and what the role actually demands. Our OTs come to the job site, observe tasks in real conditions, and write reports in the format your insurer, employer or WHS team requires.
Your OT observes your actual workstation: desk height, chair, screen position, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting and the physical demands of your setup. Recommendations are specific to what is there, not a generic checklist. Where equipment changes would reduce injury risk or support a current condition, your OT documents exactly what is needed and why.
Some roles involve more than a desk. Your OT observes the full range of tasks in your job, including lifting, carrying, prolonged standing, repetitive movements, driving, and cognitive demands such as time pressure and dual-tasking. The analysis sets out which tasks are within your current capacity and which require modification or temporary removal.
Where the person has an injury or health condition, your OT maps current functional capacity against the physical and cognitive demands of the role. This comparison is the basis for modified duty recommendations, graduated hours, or a formal return-to-work plan, and is the document most commonly requested by workers comp insurers and treating teams.
If full duties are not yet possible, your OT recommends specific modified duties that are within current capacity, taking into account what work is actually available in the business. Modified duty recommendations are written with the employer's operational context in mind and are presented in a format the insurer can act on.
Proactive assessments identify ergonomic hazards and task-related strain patterns before an injury occurs. Your OT can assess a workstation or team area, identify risks, and recommend changes to reduce the likelihood of musculoskeletal injury. These assessments are often requested by employers after a pattern of similar claims or as part of WHS due diligence.
The value of a workplace OT assessment is in the written report. Your OT writes clear, evidence-based reports that meet the documentation standards of WorkCover QLD, iCare NSW, WorkSafe Vic and other bodies. Reports cover findings, recommendations, equipment specifications where relevant, and proposed timelines. We also write reports for NDIS participants where workplace participation is a plan goal.
Whether NDIS, aged care, DVA or private, the admin can feel complicated. We handle the paperwork and explain the funding options in plain English so you can focus on the person, not the process.
Phone (07) 3477 9366 or drop your details in the form. Our intake team usually responds within one business day. We'll ask about age, goals, funding and where you're based.
We pair you with an AHPRA-registered OT experienced in your context: paediatric, adult, older adult, rehab or reports. You know who's coming, and why they're the right fit.
Your OT visits you at home, at school, at work or in the community. We build a personalised plan, document progress, and coordinate with your supports, GP or support coordinator.
Our Occupational Therapists are AHPRA-registered, supported by OT assistants, a psychologist, a speech pathologist and a warm admin team who'll be your first point of contact. Small enough to know your name, big enough to match you with someone whose experience fits your goals.

A workplace OT assessment is an on-site evaluation of how a person performs their job tasks, how the work environment is set up, and whether there is a mismatch between the two. Our OT observes the workstation, tools, posture, movement patterns and task demands, then provides written recommendations. Assessments are used for return-to-work planning, injury prevention, ergonomic improvements and modified duty planning.
Requests come from several directions: employers or HR teams managing an injured worker, insurers as part of a workers compensation claim, GPs or physios coordinating a return-to-work plan, and individuals who want an independent assessment. You can also contact us directly without a referral.
Yes. An on-site visit is essential for an accurate assessment. Reviews done without seeing the actual workstation, tasks, environment and tools can only go so far. We need to observe the real job to give recommendations that will actually work.
An ergonomic assessment focuses on workstation setup and posture. A workplace OT assessment is broader: it considers your functional capacity alongside the job demands, looks at the whole work environment, and produces recommendations that can include modified duties, equipment, task redesign and phased return-to-work. Our OTs bring a clinical lens as well as ergonomic expertise.
Yes. Proactive assessments can identify ergonomic risks, task-related strain patterns and environmental hazards before they cause injury. Some employers request these as part of their workplace health and safety obligations or after noticing a pattern of similar injuries in a team.
Workers compensation schemes (WorkCover QLD, iCare NSW, WorkSafe Vic) typically cover workplace assessments as part of an accepted claim. DVA covers assessments for eligible veterans. NDIS (self- and plan-managed) can fund workplace assessments where they relate to a participant's disability and employment goals. Private clients can also self-fund.
Most on-site assessments take between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of the role. The written report typically covers a summary of findings, specific workstation and task recommendations, equipment suggestions with product options where relevant, modified duty recommendations and any follow-up actions. Reports are written with the referrer's purpose in mind, whether that is an insurer, employer or individual.
Our mobile OTs travel to your workplace across QLD, NSW, VIC and TAS. Whether you are on workers comp, DVA, NDIS or self-funded, we write assessments and reports that meet insurer and employer standards. Call us or request a callback and we'll confirm availability in your area.
