What is Work Capacity Evaluation?
An objective, comprehensive evaluation of an individual who, due to an injury, health condition or disability, is demonstrating restriction in their functional or vocational capacity for work. The WCE is conducted by both a functional and a vocational evaluator in order to determine safe, suitable and sustainable vocational options for the individual as well as to identify goal orientated, vocational rehabilitation recommendations. The WCE incorporates an individual’s current medical/clinical status, work skills, previous employment and educational history, work aptitudes, vocational interests and functional, psychological and social capacity for work.
Who is it for?
Ideal for individuals who are not able to return to their pre-injury/condition job role and need specialist advice to define and establish alternative job options which match their functional and occupational profile.
How the service is offered

The provision of one concise report, which combines the findings of both elements of the evaluation, establishes suitable alternative job roles, and outlines the vocational rehabilitation recommendations aimed at facilitating a safe,suitable and sustainable return to work.
