Protect Productivity

Vocational rehabilitation supports people to return to work or stay in employment following injury, illness, or health challenges that impact their ability to do their job.

At Habit Health, our vocational rehabilitation programmes combine assessment, personalised planning aligned to job demands and workplace coordination including medical clearance requests, to create practical pathways back to work. Our goal is sustainable return to work while supporting both the individual and employer through the recovery journey.

Employer-funded vocational support

Integrated injury management services

Vocational assessments

We assess current work capacity, strengths, experience and employment factors to determine realistic work pathways and planning requirements.

Workplace and job demands assessments

Our team reviews the physical and functional demands of a role to determine safe duties, practical adjustments and suitable work options.

Return to work planning

Structured return-to-work plans help guide safe re-entry to the workplace through graded duties, clear milestones and regular review.

The Return to Work programme supports employees who are expected to return to their original role or a similar position following injury or time away from work. The focus is on building work capacity, identifying suitable duties and creating a clear plan for safe re-entry into the workplace.

This programme may include vocational assessment, workplace or job demands assessment, suitable duties planning, graded return-to-work planning, and coordination with employers and ACC where appropriate.

The goal is a safe, practical and sustainable return to work.
