Early-intervention physiotherapy, Functional Capacity Evaluations, fitness-for-work assessments and graded return-to-work support — for Greater Western Sydney employers who want fast, local, accountable care.
Every week a worker stays off the job, the odds of a good outcome drop — for the worker and for your claims cost. The window to act is measured in days, not months.
From the first day an injury is reported to safe, sustainable return-to-work, Thrive Recovery at Work gives you one trusted physiotherapy partner across the entire claim lifecycle — clinic-based, on-site, or both.
Rapid assessment and active treatment in the first days after injury — in clinic or at your worksite — to reduce severity, prevent chronicity and start recovery early.
Structured, evidence-based FCEs that assess a worker's physical capacity against the demands of their role — giving you objective data for claims management and return-to-work decisions.
Pre-employment medicals and fitness-for-work assessments that confirm physical readiness for role demands — before a hire or before return after extended absence.
Practical, worksite-specific manual handling instruction and ergonomic assessments that reduce re-injury risk and build a culture of safe movement across your workforce.
Physiotherapy-informed suitable duties planning, graded return-to-work schedules and ongoing functional monitoring — so every step back to full duties is safe and documented.
From a logistics hub in Eastern Creek to a manufacturing facility in Wetherill Park, we're genuinely local — and built to serve the industries that drive Western Sydney.
From the moment you refer, every step is accountable — with committed timeframes and clear reporting back to you.
We put specific commitments in writing because speed is everything in early intervention.

Choose the level of engagement that suits your business — from pay-as-you-go assessments to a full on-site program.
Based in Parramatta, central to the Eastern Creek, Wetherill Park, Prestons, Blacktown and Kemps Creek industrial corridors. We're not a national provider — we're a committed, local team with deep ties to the Western Sydney business community.
First contact within 24 hours, first appointment within 1–2 business days, report in your inbox within two business days of assessment. We hold ourselves to specific timeframes — not vague promises.
We don't stretch claims out with passive, indefinite treatment. Every recommendation is grounded in evidence, focused on function, and aimed at the fastest safe return-to-work — for the benefit of the worker and the employer.
Manual handling training, ergonomic assessments and worksite reviews help you address injury risk before the next claim happens. Recovery at Work covers the full cycle — not just treatment after the fact.
From a single FCE to a preferred provider arrangement or a full on-site program, you deal with one person — Joseph Hanna, your named physiotherapist — not a call centre or rotating roster of unknown clinicians.
Thrive Functional Health can deliver all of the services on this page — physiotherapy, FCEs, fitness-for-work assessments, manual handling training and return-to-work support — right now. The one thing we cannot currently do is bill these services through the icare/SIRA scheme as a registered Workplace Rehabilitation Provider (WRP). We are actively pursuing SIRA WRP registration. If your specific requirement is scheme-billed WRP services, we'll say so upfront and can refer you to a registered provider. For everything else, we're ready to go.
We work across all major funding streams and will confirm the billing pathway for your specific situation before we begin.
Assessment fees are quoted upfront. For employer-funded or insurer-funded services, we issue a tax invoice directly to the organisation or claim. All pricing is discussed and agreed before any assessment commences.
No. Option A (on-call assessments) is fully pay-as-you-go with no formal arrangement required. For Options B and C, we typically agree on a simple service agreement that outlines response timeframes, reporting and billing — nothing complicated. You can test us with one referral before committing to anything.
Yes. Worksite visits for manual handling training, ergonomic assessments, on-site physiotherapy sessions and FCEs are all available. We're based in Parramatta and regularly travel across Greater Western Sydney — including Eastern Creek, Wetherill Park, Blacktown, Kemps Creek and Prestons industrial corridors.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a structured, standardised assessment of a person's physical capacity in relation to specific job demands. It goes beyond a clinical assessment to produce an objective, documented report on what the worker can and cannot safely do — which is used to inform return-to-work decisions, suitable duties and claims management. We follow accredited FCE protocols and provide written reports within two business days.
A pre-employment assessment is conducted before a hire to confirm a candidate can meet the physical demands of a role. A fitness-for-work assessment is conducted after an injury or illness — or when there's concern about an existing employee's capacity — to confirm they can safely return to their position. Both use standardised protocols and result in a written report.
Absolutely. Option C (on-site program) is designed specifically for employers with higher-volume needs, shift workers, or specific operational constraints. We'll scope the program with you to fit your roster, site layout and workforce profile — then deliver it on a scheduled basis that integrates with your operations, not around it.
Not yet as a Workplace Rehabilitation Provider (WRP). We can deliver all of our services and bill them directly to employers, insurers or the worker — but we cannot currently access scheme-billed WRP funding through icare. We're working toward SIRA WRP registration. If that specific pathway is essential for you, let us know and we'll be upfront about what we can and cannot do.
Tell us a little about your organisation and what you need. We'll be in touch within one business day.
Use this form for any enquiry — a one-off FCE, a preferred-provider discussion, an on-site program, or anything else. No obligation, no sales pressure.
One call or email is all it takes to start. We'll acknowledge your enquiry the same business day and have a conversation about what you need — no obligation.
