Become an occupational rehabilitation provider

Application information

WorkSafe Victoria (WorkSafe) is intending to commence the sourcing process for the provision of Occupational Rehabilitation services in Victoria. Occupational Rehabilitation Providers will be invited to apply for a position on the Occupational Rehabilitation Panel by adequately addressing a combination of mandatory criteria and application questions.

This Occupational Rehabilitation Panel is expected to provide relevant Return to Work support to injured workers and employers across Victoria from the period of 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2030.

Over the past twelve (12) months more than 11,000 injured workers have received support from Occupational Rehabilitation providers in the form of:

• facilitating return to work with the pre injury or new employer;
• providing retraining services;
• assisting with interpersonal conflict resolution; and
• keep workers ‘work-ready’ despite barriers to return to work

Occupational Rehabilitation Providers will be sought through public advertisement through the various advertising channels:

• Buying for Victoria website
• relevant associations (Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association); and
• LinkedIn.

Applications will open in November 2026 with the intent to advise providers of their successful or unsuccessful applications prior to June 2027. Those Occupational Rehabilitation Providers who are successful in obtaining a position on the panel will commence servicing from 1 July 2027.

Occupational Rehabilitation Providers wanting to participate in this opportunity must register on the Buying for Victoria Supplier Portal and download the application documents once released. Applicants are reminded not to approach WorkSafe staff members in relation to the application process.
