WorkFocus Australia

We’re proud to make a positive impact in people’s lives across Australia every day, from major cities to the most remote areas. Our dedicated regional team goes the extra mile(!) to ensure individuals, families, and communities receive the support they need, no matter where they are. Amy Wight, our Injury Management Specialist, recently visited Alice Springs to help clients in the region. Along the way, she explored some iconic local spots, including Untyeyetwelye (Anzac Hill), the Old Ghan Railway Track, and even encountered some amazing wildlife! We’re grateful to have dedicated professionals like Amy, who, along with our larger team of consultants, are committed to providing high-quality, face-to-face support in regional areas where access to these services is often limited. #Rehabilitation #RemoteSupport #MakingAnImpact

Yesterday, members of our WA team Megan Gum, Brenton Malacari, Shelby Nobbs and Lisa Lange proudly supported the Suncorp Spirit to Cure 21km walk together with the Suncorp Group crew. We also provided a boost of energy for walkers with a coffee van and some delicious morning cookies, and our Be Active team members, Jaxon Corey and Chris Merrington, led pre-walk stretches to get walkers warmed up and ready to go! It was a great morning filled with high spirits and a valuable opportunity to come together to support such an important cause, raising funds and awareness for cancer research, and making a positive impact in the local community. #MakingAnImpact #CommunityFocus #SpiritToCure

We’re passionate about supporting employers who prioritise their employees’ wellbeing, and we’re dedicated to providing the tools and education needed to achieve this. Last week, Andrew Mills, our Manager - Health Services and Innovation, led an engaging workshop with Mount Alexander Shire Council to enhance their employees' mental health and resilience at work and at home.   The session covered key topics such as recognising personal stress signatures, understanding stress causes, and how thinking patterns affect stress. Participants also learned practical tips for mindfulness, stress management, and creating personal action plans.   Thanks to everyone who took part in this workshop.   #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealth #CommunityImpact #MakingAnImpact
