Back2Work

Gamini Samarakoon received support from the Back2Work program in his role as a diesel fitter.

Research shows that people who return to work in a timely, safe, and sustainable way after serious injury experience financial, social, psychological, and physical benefits.

Back2Work is a specialist project that provides early intervention vocational rehabilitation to patients of the Spinal Injuries Unit of Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital, free of charge.

Our Vocational Rehabilitation Counsellors Tania Goossen, Lisa Moore and Belinda McLeod are available if you want to explore or discuss:

  • Returning to work or study
  • Starting a new job or career
  • Retraining and course information
  • Funding available around work and study
  • Possible modifications to the workplace to help facilitate your return to work.

The project also offers expert assistance and information for employers to support their employee to return to work.
