Our Approach to Allied Health
With a range of allied health services available, our team of allied health practitioners exercise incredible precision when delivering health services and advising on specific health concerns for all clients around Australia and internationally.
An Emphasis on Care
With over 15 years’ experience in offering allied health services, we know the importance of offering accurate opinions, advice and reports. However, we believe this can only happen when a people-first approach is used by our team of allied health practitioners, which is why we place an emphasis on care throughout our entire catalogue of health services and processes.
Our dedicated team is focused on ensuring the best outcomes for everyone involved in a claim and operates across a range of professions.
Occupational Therapists
Our experienced occupational therapists offer national in-home assessment services specialising in medico-legal reports for claimants with acquired brain injury, multi-trauma orthopaedic injuries, amputees and neurological health conditions.
- Standard case assessment reports assess and evaluate a client’s personal and domestic care requirements, minor home modifications, equipment and aids needed to assist with health conditions, as well as replacement costs. These assessments are conducted in the home and usually take between 1-2 hours.
- Complex case assessment reports consider a client’s long-term impairment and health condition which affects their communication, social interaction, learning, mobility, self-care and self-management. The comprehensive report includes recommendations relating to personal and domestic care requirements, minor home modifications, lifetime care, aids and equipment costs. Assessments generally take between 2-3 hours and are also conducted in-home.
Vocational Assessment Services
Our comprehensive vocational assessments evaluate skill, abilities and requirements to assist in finding new employment, whilst also considering physical health, psychological ability and cognitive function. Based on the assessment or file review, a detailed report will assist in determining the best job fit by offering a range of options.
Conducted by highly experienced vocational advisors and professionals, our vocational assessment services include the provision of a report that provides details about the suitability of specific employment options and information pertaining to the current labour market.
Fitness for Duty Assessments
Our physiotherapists are well-versed allied health professionals that conduct on-site work assessments for employers. This service reviews a worker’s ability to perform the duties associated with their role. Fitness for duty includes a review of task analysis, a physical assessment based on the inherent job requirements, and a detailed report outlining what parts of the role the worker is able, or unable to perform. Suggested modifications may be included if appropriate. These assessments are available throughout Victoria.
IIME also provides neuropsychological fitness for duty assessments. An extensive interview and evaluation is conducted by a clinical neuropsychologist who reviews a worker’s personal history and current status; physical, communication, cognitive, behavioural/emotional, activities of daily living and current treatment. The detailed report includes results and findings from the assessment as well as answers to any questions that an employer may have, particularly regarding a return to work.
IIME are able to schedule appointments with allied health professionals within four weeks of request. Quality and concise reports are generally produced by a health expert within six weeks of the initial assessments.
