Work Well

This guideline applies to adults aged over 16 years.

Introduction

Work Well is a service that helps people with a health condition or disability to start, stay and succeed in work.

 

Referral

Work Well provides an early intervention work and health assessment and provision of low intensity support, tailored to the individual to

• address their work and health needs
• overcome health barriers at work
• access help, support, information, guidance and connections to services
