Vocational Rehabilitation Services

Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) provide a comprehensive intervention, combining vocational rehabilitation with employment assistance. VRS assists people who have an injury, disability or health condition to work independently in the open labour market. 

The focus of the intervention is to assist the job seeker to understand, compensate for or manage their injury, disability or health condition, or the resulting limitations or restrictions they may face. It helps them build work capacity and/or avoid re injury, find and retain employment. Vocational Rehabilitation providers work closely with employers to ensure safe and sustainable employment opportunities. This can include identifying the best candidates for vacancies, job design, work place assessments and modifications, work trials and wage subsidies.

Vocational Rehabilitation Services are tailored to individual needs and can include:
