Central Safety Group Melbourne

Psychological Conditions & Return to Work

As well as having a vast experience in this area, Frank was also the recipient of the National Outstanding Achievement in RTW Award in 2017, and so we were very fortunate to have him as our first speaker for the year.

He shared some very valuable information about the challenges associated with return to work for people who have suffered workplace psychological injury or illness.

Research data he presented showed how important it is to aim for a timely return to work. There has also been a recent increase in the reporting and acceptance of mental injury conditions and claims, which has found many employers unsure and unprepared when it comes to dealing with the challenges of rehabilitation and preventing recurrence of the problem.

Frank outlined a number of ways to assist employers -and consequently the workforce -with these challenges.

Mental/Psychological Conditions and Return to Work

Frank Imbesi, Managing Director of AMS Consulting.

Return to work for people who have suffered workplace psychological injury or illness can be a complicated and challenging process.

The best-practice approach and potential problems when helping employees recovering from mental health issues will be discussed by Frank Imbesi at Central Safety Group’s meeting on Tuesday, February 13 2018.

This area is of special interest to Frank, who has been working in in the field of return-to-work planning, management and support for many years and is Managing Director of an occupational rehabilitation company.

He says a lot is known about rehabilitation and return to work after physical injury, but far less about how to help people recovering from events or situations in the workplace that led to mental injury.

There has been a recent increase in the reporting and acceptance of mental injury conditions and claims, which has found many employers unsure and unprepared when it comes to dealing with the challenges of rehabilitation and preventing recurrence of the problem.

Please note: this presentation will be followed by a brief AGM.
