WHAT ARE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES?


As a Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VRS) we combine vocational rehabilitation with employment assistance. We assist people who have an injury, disability or health condition to work independently in the open labour market. 

Our focus is to assist the jobseeker to understand, compensate for or manage their injury, disability or health condition, or the resulting limitations or restrictions they may face. We help them build work capacity and/or avoid re-injury, find and/or retain employment. 

We work closely with employers to ensure safe and sustainable employment opportunities. This can include identifying the best candidates for vacancies, job design, work place assessments and modifications, work trials and wage subsidies.

Vocational Rehabilitation Services also provide assistance for existing employees who may be in danger of losing their job due to their disability, injury or health condition.
