Queensland Physical Medicine offers priority intervention for employers / industry with high risk work injuries.

Between a tight labour market and the huge cost of long term worker disability, it makes sense for employers to be proactive about managing workers injuries / disabilities. When injured workers are not getting better quickly, early expert input can reap huge rewards. There is a natural threshold around the two week mark where the risk of long term disability starts to sky rocket with any worker injury. This is the ideal time to involve musculoskeletal doctors – before the downward spiral into long disability has become established.

With 10 years experience as a doctor in a central Queensland coal mining town, Dr Homan in particular, has a unique understanding of how to optimize a worker’s progress post injury. This typically involves:

• Close liaison with local OHS officers and early, strategic return to work site.
• Timely medical investigation and diagnosis to help prevent wasted time in getting workers fit again.
• Targeted musculoskeletal interventions to turn off soft tissue causes of pain.
• Increasing a worker’s knowledge and understanding of their musculoskeletal wellbeing - promoting recovery and preventing recurrence.
