How to access our service?
The Stay at Work Service is fully funded through ACC for eligible injured workers.
Employers can request a referral to Hemisphere Health for a Stay at Work Programme from ACC where workers return after injury is delayed.
Remember if it’s a workplace injury your ACC levies are loaded for each day a worker is off work, so facilitating an early return minimises the business costs.
GP’s can also request return to work support from ACC or if ACC identifies that additional rehabilitation support would help someone remain at work or return sooner, they may refer them to our team.
Our team is here to provide practical support, clear communication and coordinated rehabilitation that helps people recover and get back to meaningful work fast.
