What is the ACC Vocational Rehabilitation service

The ACC Stay at Work Service is based on the principle that recovery at work is the best approach to getting better. Our service includes workplace assessments to understand job demands, return-to-work planning with medical providers, ongoing support, and specialised rehabilitation from occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and psychologists to overcome work-related barriers.

The team will work with employers, GP’s and the wider health team to create a safe, effective and tailored rehabilitation plan, and an appropriate medical certificate to support rehabilitation at work.

Supporting an injured employee’s return to work can be challenging for employers. Our direct referral option makes it easier for you to stay involved, helping your employee get back safely and on time while ensuring a smooth, well-supported transition.

Who is eligible? 

• The employee must not be able to work or perform their duties due to their injury.
• Aiming to stay in the same role, modifying their current role, or a new role. 

No costs to you or your employee

As a trusted and long-term ACC supplier, we offer this fully funded service at no cost to your business or employees.
