Lifeworks Health Services are an excellent resource for assistance in returning injured workers to their pre-injury employer in below average time frames and costs.

Results driven

We’re all in this to see people get back to work. It’s that simple. Our focus is to identify and devise the right services they need to get them there.

Our team is extremely effective in identifying the barriers- both psychosocial and biomedical-providing innovative evidence- based strategies to overcome them.

Bio-psychosocial approach

The Lifeworks’ team take a bio psychosocial approach to all cases. We consider not only the worker’s physical or mental health condition but the person as a whole, including psychological issues and the social environment and constraints. We consider social factors that may present barriers to a person’s RTW eg, family issues, finances and work closely with them and relevant stakeholders to find solutions.

Our success in adopting a bio-psychosocial approach has been proven in RTW outcomes achieved across a wide variety of industries and frameworks.
