Guess who's back, back again?

Ashleen’s back, tell a friend

Guess who’s back, back again?

Ashleen is back, tell a friend

Well maybe just tell her client

After 2 weeks out of the country, our TRS family is back to being complete. While Ashleen was on holiday in India, there was a spot in the office that just couldn’t be filled.

Whenever Ashleen is in the office, she brings with her an energy that lifts everyone’s spirit when we hit that 3pm slump. Since she started with us on the 24th of June, Ashleen has been a valued member of our team.

She is loved by everyone who she has worked with while she has been here, helping clients achieve their goals and getting one step closer to the life they want to live. Ashleen knows that when it comes to a rehabilitation journey, it is a marathon, not a sprint. That is one of the reasons why Ashleen is loved by many, she knows that Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Welcome back Ashleen!

In the questions that were asked, we got the chance to see what Elijah struggles with on his journey to run again. You get to see why he keeps going when he wants to quit. Lastly, Elijah shares what he does for therapy for 10 years post-accident.

If you were asked the same questions, what would your answers be?

What do you think the role of a Carer and Support Worker is?

Carer’s and Support Worker’s can have many different roles/ jobs. They can be the people who can help you get ready for a day of adventures together, help you get dinner ready for your family, be your gym buddy. These are also people who can take you out to enjoy a day at your favourite place, to give you peace.

As a Carer, looking after your own wellbeing and mental health is just as important as caring for other’s. This month is for carers to connect, reflect, and prioritise their mental health. Because when they come together, nothing can stop them and all they can do is truly thrive.

Carers are people who often put the needs of others before themselves, when they need more support than we know. The Australian Government is providing a program called Carer Gateway, to give free services and supports for unpaid carers.

What happens when someone at work starts struggling — but nobody knows how to help? 🤔

That was one of the key conversations from today's Psychosocial Risk in Practice Lunch & Learn, hosted by the Rehabilitation Specialists Institute.

One important takeaway? 💡

Recognising the warning signs is only the beginning. Knowing how to respond makes the difference.

We explored three practical steps:

🔴 NOTICE – Recognise the warning signs.

🔴 ASK – Start meaningful conversations.

🔴 RESPOND – Take action, offer support and follow up.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us! 👏

😂👑 IT’S OT DAY… AND ISOBEL HAS ENTERED HER VIP ERA!

Today, we’re celebrating Occupational Therapy Day, and our OT Isobel is getting the five-star treatment she deserves… or at least, that’s what she thinks! 🤣

👜 Elijah: Personal assistant, carrying all the essentials.
💨 Elijah: Also on fan duty.
💆‍♀️ Cassie: Massage therapist (apparently).
🛋️ Elijah: Pillow placement specialist.
🦶 Cassie: Footrest coordinator.
☕ Isobel: Sipping from her favourite OT mug like the queen she is. 👑

And with Bruno Mars singing “You Can Count on Me” in the background, we can confirm Isobel has a very dedicated support crew! 😂❤️

Jokes aside, our Occupational Therapists make a genuine difference every day, helping people build independence, navigate challenges and get back to doing the things that matter most.

Today, we’re celebrating Isobel and all the amazing OTs who make that possible. Thank you for everything you do! ❤️

Happy Occupational Therapy Day from all of us at The Rehabilitation Specialists! 🎉

Be honest… which OT in your workplace would absolutely expect this level of VIP treatment? 😂👇

❤️ Sometimes, the right support changes everything.

We love sharing feedback that reminds us why the work we do matters.

One of our clients is now working full-time, loving their new team and feeling positive about their new agency.

Their feedback about our very own Erin Grocott says it all:

“Erin was wonderful and it made all the difference to be supported.”

Erin, our Exercise Physiologist and Head of Rehabilitation / Government Lead, understands that every person's journey is different. Having someone in your corner who listens, cares and helps you navigate challenging circumstances can make a world of difference.

We're so proud of Erin and the positive impact she continues to make. 🙌

Here's to helping people move forward, rebuild confidence and find a better way forward at work.
