Occupational Rehabilitation

Occupational Rehabilitation is the process of restoring those who are ill or injured to the fullest physical, psychological, social, vocational and economic usefulness of which they are capable.

Occupational Rehabilitation aims to assist employees to return to meaningful and productive work at the highest possible level of functioning following illness or injury.

Effective Occupational Rehabilitation commences as soon as possible after an injury or illness is reported and takes account of the individual’s state of personal well being as well as physical recovery.

These services are available to all employees whether the injury or illness is work related or not and can be provided either by appropriate university staff or by external consultants.
