AusRehab provides tailored job-seeking assistance, vocational assessments, and vocational counselling for injured workers across Sydney & NSW, helping them re-enter the workforce safely and sustainably. If you’re recovering from a workplace injury, our services are designed to align your capabilities with meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities.
When an injury interrupts your career, figuring out how to get back into the workforce can feel daunting. You may be unsure of what kind of work you can still do, how to present your experience to employers, or where to even begin searching. That’s where AusRehab’s job seeking services come in. Our approach is practical, supportive, and focused on matching your abilities with real opportunities in today’s job market.
Job seeking assistance is hands-on support designed to help you re-enter the workforce with confidence. It’s not just about handing you a job board, it’s about walking beside you through the process.
This may include:
Identifying your job-seeking needs
Developing a personalised job-seeking plan
Liaising with employers and other stakeholders on your behalf
Teaching practical skills like résumé writing and interview preparation
Assisting with job search and negotiating placements (such as Work Trials, JobCover6, and JCPP)
Providing post-placement support so you feel secure in your new role
A vocational assessment looks at where you are now and what’s realistic moving forward. It takes into account:
Your physical, psychological, and cognitive capacity
Any restrictions related to your injury
The types of roles that may suit your skills and recovery needs
Labour Market Analysis (LMA): exploring current opportunities and demand in the job market to identify realistic and sustainable employment options
The goal is to create a clear, safe pathway toward sustainable employment that matches your abilities, interests, and market opportunities.
You may have more job options than you think. A transferable skills assessment reviews your:
Previous work experience
Education and qualifications
Skills that can apply to different industries or job types
This process often reveals opportunities you may not have considered — roles that fit both your strengths and current labour market demand.
Sometimes the biggest hurdle after an injury is emotional. Vocational counselling provides guidance and support to help you:
Explore new career goals
Address barriers such as fear, lack of confidence, or uncertainty
Make informed decisions about your next steps
Counselling helps ensure you’re not just placed in a job, but supported in building a future you can sustain.

Sustainable employment support focuses on placing injured workers in roles that match their long-term functional capacity, reducing the risk of re-injury or relapse. By promoting realistic, stable employment options, this support helps restore financial independence and improves overall well-being during recovery.
