Vocational rehab
Return to work safely and quickly following a workplace injury.
Return to work with tailored recovery support
Recovery at work helps
Our experienced team knows how returning to your job quickly can improve the speed and success of your overall recovery.
This includes returning to an alternative role if your pre-injury job is no longer suitable due to the nature of your injury.
If your injury is covered by ACC, our services may be funded by ACC.
When you come to APM, you’re in highly experienced hands with a team of allied health professionals dedicated to supporting you and your recovery goals.
We know every injury is unique, and every individual needs a personalised approach.
Our network of more than 500 health and assessment professionals are dedicated to the recovery of every injured person they meet.
If you experience an injury, we work with you, your employer, and any stakeholders involved in your health and employment to deliver a simple, structured, return to work plan.

Your health and safety is our main priority
If you can’t return to your job
If changes to your capacity to perform job tasks mean you can’t do the same role, we can help.
When a return to your pre-injury role isn’t possible, we continue our support.
We work with your employer to assess your workplace and your job tasks to get a full understanding of the work being carried out.
We also assess your functional capabilities and use a vocational assessment to determine what jobs you’re best suited for.
Together with you and your employer we look to see if other roles, or new roles, will work out within the same organisation.
If this isn’t possible we work with you to support a job search for suitable work with an alternative employer.
