About Us

An allied health professional treats an injured worker

Work Healthy Australia was established more than 24 years ago (formerly the Soft Tissue Centre) by Dr James Murray, a pioneer in our industry.

Now, we have clinicians working across Australia, treating more than 55,000 injured workers annually, at more than 60 sites across Australia.

Every day, we observe how a well implemented onsite early intervention healthcare program – coupled with robust recruitment processes and targeted training programs – provides great outcomes for our clients.

We see reduced injury compensation claims and insurance premiums. We see happier workforces. We see a safety culture coming to life.

We are a people business

Our team of experienced allied health professionals are well-versed in workplace health and safety.

They understand the importance of productivity and efficiency to business.

They also understand and value people.

We know that an employee who is happy, healthy and supported is more likely to be productive and engaged.

 

Our ultimate goal is to keep your workers working in their designated roles

When an injury causes a worker to step away from their designated role, we use a number of methods to ensure a speedy recovery.

Early intervention, effective treatment, tailored rehabilitation and work hardening programs are implemented as soon as possible.

We want to get to know you

We work hard to understand the unique challenges each of our clients are facing.

We analyse data, look for trends, and identify risks.

    WHA has been instrumental in getting our workforce back to work quickly either from workplace injuries or private injuries, illnesses and conditions. We've seen a huge improvement in outcomes for our workforce by making WHA's services freely available to all and getting in early following an injury and applying effective treatment/rehabilitation.

    Since we began using WHA onsite services, the staff culture around injury management and reporting of incidents, injuries and near misses has improved. Our staff are engaging in the support we offer to return them to, or retain them at work.

    Work Healthy Australia is well-organised and has a range of services. The reporting is in high detail. Access to reports and bookings is easy to navigate. WHA is the best service to take care of our workers. Not just injury management but also the education that is passed to team leaders and the workers themselves on injury prevention and basic well-being has proved a huge boost to our safety and well-being culture.
