Mining services

Our onsite physiotherapy model means we can provide earlier and more effective intervention for an injured worker.

We’ve found that good collaboration and direct communication between the physiotherapist, the worker, their supervisor and management creates a more efficient rehabilitation process.

This leads to optimal return to work outcomes and reduced costs to the business.

To reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and support the productivity of your healthier workforce, we can also collaborate closely with your safety team for a more proactive approach to injury prevention.

Occupational health and hygiene services are vital in ensuring your workers’ wellbeing by maintaining a hygienic and safe onsite environment.

That’s why we’ve expanded our occupational hygiene services in line with new audiology legislation in WA, as well as offering dust, noise and water sampling services to measure workers’ exposure.

Supported by our robust training and collective experience, the Biosymm injury management team can help your organisation with the highest quality injury management.

The process we follow ensures optimal response to managing workplace injuries and illnesses and assists employees in returning to work successfully.

We work with your organisation to achieve an outcome that benefits both the individual and your business.

Injury management support may be beneficial for:

• Subject matter expertise
• Maternity coverage
• Leave coverage
• Non-work-related case management
• Secondments
• Support to internal teams

Shutdown is a high-risk time for a worker’s health, including musculoskeletal issues, injuries, or even stress-related concerns, due to the increased risk associated with time-pressured maintenance, upgrades, or other operational needs.

Physiotherapy support during this time is crucial for maintaining the wellbeing of workers.

It makes sure that your workforce remains in top physical condition both before, during, and after the shutdown period.

Biosymm physiotherapists can assist during a mine site shutdown with:

• Injury management
