WorkCover – Vocational Assessments

Career assessments, counselling and support can be a very cloudy area for much debate, particularly for its real world worth and practicality to an injured party, who can be stuck, avoidant and likely emotional.

The end point needs to be highly realistic and attainable, available and accessible. But most importantly – be seen by the injured person as a worthy job option for them to act on.

My experience comes from the value of knowing the real job market, and the potential entry points where an injured party can see themselves re-establish a ‘viable’ employment path again.

I often notice flaws in vocational opinions for injured individuals. Some reporting is overly simplistic, dismissive of options, or overlook the obvious. You have probably encountered many such examples yourself.

Let’s face it, the strike rate for an injured party to want to freely engage or go back to work before settlement – is slim. A pricey vocational report that summarises, ‘just go drive an Uber’ doesn’t really help.

So what then?
