Recovery Planning

One plan. Your goals.

The duration and structure of the program depends on the individual. After the initial discussion and assessment, a personalised training pathway can be developed around progress and recovery needs.

✓
Individual goals Training is shaped around the person's needs and priorities.
✓
Flexible progress Plans can change as recovery and confidence develop.
✓
Collaborative support Where appropriate, training can form part of a broader rehabilitation pathway.
Adaptive Options

Driving differently doesn't mean giving up independence.

A workplace injury can change the way someone moves, reacts or operates a vehicle. Where appropriate, adaptive driving strategies and specialised controls may help support a person's return-to-driving pathway.

Training is tailored around the individual, with a focus on safety, confidence and practical skill development.
