Work- related Activity


Actevate’s work-related activity incorporates structured, physical exercises and activities that reflect the employee’s pre-injury duties and overall functional capacity. By linking specifically to the work demands we empower the injured worker so they believe they can successfully return to work. Our approach leads to industry-leading sustainable outcomes that WorkCover research proves saves $5 on claims cost for every $1 spent.

Our programs involve:

  • workplace assessments to ensure task management, and appropriate ergonomic adjustment;
  • case-conferencing with a nominated treating doctor to negotiate upgrades in medical capacity certification;
  • challenging fear avoidant behaviour and introducing active coping strategies to help employees manage their injury; and
  • ensuring greater and more sustainable medical upgrades through education and motivational coaching.
  • We understand that pro-active collaboration with the injured employee and key stakeholders is crucial to ensure that realistic and sustainable return work goals are achieved.

Actevate’s work-related activity is in line with best practice WorkCover soft tissue injury guidelines (published 2008):

  • evidence indicates that an early return to activity is the best treatment for soft tissue injuries;
  • focus with using active coping strategies to manage their injury rather then fear avoidant behavior;
  • strong cognitive behavioral approach to ensure the injured worker is educated and overcomes any present psychosocial barriers resulting in greater and more sustainable upgrades; and 
  • variety of programs including intensive, multidisciplinary psych and activity, and early transition of care.

Outcome achieved by Actevate at program completion in NSW in 2009:

Fit for work at the completion of work-related activity: 96%
