Don’t lose an employee when your whole team can win

If someone on your team needs extra support or adjustments at work, we’re here to help.

Most of us will experience an injury, illness or disability at some point in our working lives.

When that happens, it can be hard to know the best way to support a valued employee. That’s where we come in.

We know what works - and when you get it right, everyone benefits.

Supporting your employees

If an injury, illness or disability is affecting how an employee does their job, our workplace modification assessments look at what changes could help. 

This might be new tools, equipment, or simple adjustments to the work environment that make tasks easier and safer.

That could include specialist equipment to help with lifting, bending or moving items, adjustable desks or workstations, or technology to support employees with visual or hearing impairments.

Enhancing your workplaces

We also help make workplaces more flexible and accessible for people with disability.

Our experienced assessors take the time to understand the challenges, identify any barriers, and recommend practical solutions. 

We’ll also talk with suppliers and give you a clear idea of what the changes are likely to cost.

If your employee is connected to an employment program such as Inclusive Employment Australia, they may be eligible for funded supports. 

In these cases, the assessment can be completed through the National Panel of Assessors.

If your employee has a workplace injury, working with us will help lead to a positive return to work

APM has been helping businesses maintain a healthy workforce for more than 25 years.

We know how to help winning teams stay together when one of their members needs to make adjustments or change their work capacity.

By working with us to provide the right tools, technology or workplace modifications, you add value to your team and reduce the potential costly impact on your business.

As part of a successful return to work you can take a positive step to resolve, reduce or avoid any potential costly and complex workers’ compensation or insurance claims.

We help you maintain the trust and productive relationships between you and your team, and help you support them with a comprehensive support package that includes injury prevention, early intervention and return to work services.

If your employee is eligible, the cost of making changes could be reduced by the Australian Government’s Employment Assistance Fund.

Workplace modification assessments are carried out as part of the fund, which aims to create more jobs and support people with disability at work.

Contact us to find out more, or visit the government’s JobAccess service.

Has your employee been injured outside of work?

If a member of your team is injured and not covered for workers' compensation, there are additional support options available

Work Assist could be able to help your employee if changes in their ability or health puts their job in jeopardy as they are no longer able to carry out their normal work. This service allows you to access health professionals for treatment, including physical and psychological health practitioners.

We can also help you and your team find specialist equipment to help them continue in their job, or complete a job redesign strategy to adjust the tasks around your employee. Work Assist is delivered in areas where the federal government’s Disability Employment Services is provided.
