About
Helping you achieve better injury management outcomes.

Injury management services that target your WorkCover costs
Injury Prevention
Astute Health’s Injury Prevention services provide a range of interventions to effectively reduce the occurrence of preventable workplace injuries, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost time wages and additional expenses such as medical, claims, rehabilitation and premium costs.
Early Intervention
Early Intervention strategies are the most effective way to reduce WorkCover claims frequency rates. Astute Heath’s Early Intervention services provide assistance to employees before pain or discomfort results in a lost time injury and gives them an alternative means of seeking support in place of lodging a WorkCover claim.
Claims Management
Astute Health’s Claims Management services ensure the lowest possible cost and duration of a claim. We specialise in identifying complex and high-risk claims at an early stage. Our case review system ensures that all claims, including static claims, are carefully analysed to bring about timely closures.
Return to Work
Astute Health’s Return to Work services provide strategic interventions that mitigate claims costs and improve return to work outcomes by minimising time lost due to injuries. We specialise in identifying and providing solutions to Return to Work barriers to prevent injuries from developing into costly long-term claims.
Work Sustainability
Many common workplace injuries occur as a direct result of reduced physiological and/or psychological resilience. Astute Health's Work Sustainability services provide interventions to develop well-balanced, resilient employees who have an increased capacity to sustain their vocational requirements and avoid time off work due to injury and ill health.
