My assessments are evidence-based, clearly structured, and prepared to meet the requirements of legal and insurance proceedings. I work with both plaintiff and defence instructing parties, and accept referrals from solicitors, insurers, case managers, and rehabilitation providers. I understand that the quality, clarity, and timeliness of insurance and medicolegal reports matter. I am committed to all three.  ### Matters I accept: I accept referrals across the following matter types: Workers' compensation:  Assessment of functional capacity, future support needs, and cost of care for workers' compensation claims. I work with insurers, as well as both plaintiff and defence instructing parties, and am familiar with South Australian workers' compensation requirements.  Compulsory third party (CTP): Functional and care needs assessment for motor vehicle accident claims under the CTP scheme.  Medical negligence: Expert opinion on functional impact, care needs, and future costs arising from alleged medical negligence. I provide clear, defensible reports suitable for use in litigation.  NDIS disputes & appeals: Independent functional capacity assessment and expert opinion to support NDIS plan reviews, Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) appeals, or disputes regarding support needs and funding levels.  Income protection & life insurance: Functional capacity assessment to assist insurers and claimants in determining ongoing disability and capacity for work.  ### What I provide: Medicolegal assessment & expert report:  An independent and comprehensive assessment of a person's injury, condition, or disability and its functional impact, including current capacity, future support needs, and associated costs of care. Delivered as a structured, clearly written report suitable for use in legal proceedings or insurance determinations.  Worksite assessment: An on-site evaluation of a person's work environment, job demands, and current capacity. Includes recommendations for workplace modifications, graduated return-to-work planning, or suitable duties. A written report is provided for the referrer, client, insurer, employer, and treating team. Ergonomic assessment: Assessment and optimisation of a person's workstation setup to identify contributing risk factors and recommend adjustments. Can be employer-commissioned or part of an individual rehabilitation plan.  Return to work planning & case management: Coordination of a structured, graduated return-to-work process involving the individual, employer, insurer, treating practitioners, and rehabilitation team. I manage communication and progress to keep the process on track and all parties aligned. Future care needs & cost of care reporting: Assessment and quantification of a person's future care and support needs and associated costs to be used in compensation and damages calculations. Reports are clearly structured and referenced to current pricing benchmarks.    Manual handling training: Workplace training on safe lifting and handling techniques, tailored to specific industry or role requirements. Delivered to employer teams as a preventative or post-injury intervention.      ### **How to refer:** I welcome direct referrals from plaintiff and defence solicitors, workers' compensation and CTP insurers, case managers and rehabilitation providers, and GPs and treating specialists.  **Before referring:** It is best to have a brief conversation to confirm scope, timelines, and suitability. Contact me at [hello@adaptwellbeing.com.au](mailto:hello@adaptwellbeing.com.au) to discuss further.  **Report turnaround:** I aim to provide a clear timeframe at the point of referral. Please contact me to discuss urgent matters. **Discuss a referral** I am happy to have a brief conversation about your matter before you refer formally. This helps us confirm scope, suitability, and timelines and means you can be confident I am the right fit before committing.  [General Referral Form](https://adaptwellbeing.vincisoftware.com.au/Form.aspx?Key=11ebfafb-195b-428e-8b0d-a849e0d5a3c4) Email me at [hello@adaptwellbeing.com.au](mailto:hello@adaptwellbeing.com.au) [ ← Back to Services](https://www.adaptwellbeing.com.au/services?hsLang=en) ![Aboriginal flag, Torres Strait Flag, LGBTQI+ Flag](https://www.adaptwellbeing.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-08-05%20003405.png?width=90&height=26&name=Screenshot%202023-08-05%20003405.png "Aboriginal flag, Torres Strait Flag, LGBTQI+ Flag") Adapt Wellbeing operates on Kaurna Country.
