Rehabilitation Consultant – Contractor 

$110 – $130 per hour based on experience 

You’ve been in occ rehab long enough to know how it usually goes. 
Too many files. 
KPIs that don’t reflect real impact. 
Reports for reports sake. 
 
You started this career to help people but somewhere along the way, it became more about output than outcomes. 
 
This role is different. 
 
At Workcom, you’ll actually have the time to think. 
To build real relationships with your clients and customers. 
To use your clinical judgement - not just follow a process. 
 
Your caseload will be manageable. Work the hours and cases you desire. 
Your manager will actually understand the work you do. 
And you won’t be asked to compromise on quality just to hit numbers. 
 
You’ll still be challenged… but in the right way. 
 
Twelve months from now, you’ll look back and realise: 
you’re doing the kind of rehab work you always wanted to do. 
 
If that sounds like something you’ve been missing, let’s talk.
