In-house pharmacists

Recognising the escalating challenge posed by rising pharmacy costs, increased prescription of opioid medications, and the growing rates of addiction and misuse, we took decisive action by integrating two experienced pharmacists into our team. Our In-house Pharmacists work with the worker and their GP to educate about the risks of strong pain medications and exploring other pain management options.

Recovery case management

This tailored service identifies and helps to address the unique barriers which impact someone’s recovery to help them get their lives back, and prevent long term complex claims. Our Recovery Case Managers connect injured workers to a range of specialist support services – such as financial, housing, family and counselling support – so they can focus on their recovery. This service is particularly effective when returning to work is not the immediate goal, ensuring workers receive the holistic care they need.
