/ Overview

The first 48 hours decide most injury outcomes.

The difference between a strain that resolves in a week and a claim that runs for a year is usually what happens in the first two days — assessment, treatment pathway, communication and suitable duties. HSES puts clinically qualified occupational health nurses and advisors on your site, so those first decisions are made well. Our staff and decision all are under medical direction from our resident HSES occupational health doctor.

What our onsite OH advisors deliver

  • Early intervention assessment of injuries and symptoms by registered nurses with occupational health experience.
  • Treatment pathway coordination — first aid, GP, physio or specialist referral matched to the actual injury, not the default.
  • Return to work coordination — suitable duties planning, medical liaison and progressive upgrade schedules.
  • Workers compensation support — claims lodgement guidance, insurer liaison and documentation that protects both the worker and the business.
  • First aid program oversight — rooms, kits, equipment, training currency and treatment record systems.
  • Fitness for work programs — fatigue, drug & alcohol program support and non-work-related condition management.
  • Injury trend analysis — turning treatment data into prevention priorities for your safety team.

Onsite, hybrid or on-call — matched to your exposure

High-risk operations and large workforces justify a permanent onsite presence. Smaller sites often run a hybrid model: scheduled advisor days plus phone triage for incidents in between. We scope the model to your injury history, workforce size and remoteness, and we are honest when a full-time placement isn’t justified.

For FIFO and remote operations, our advisors integrate with site medics and emergency response arrangements, adding clinical injury management depth that paramedic-focused coverage often lacks.

Why clinical qualifications matter here

Injury management run by administrators defaults to process; injury management run by clinicians starts with the injury. Our advisors are registered nurses who can assess, triage and speak credibly with treating doctors — which shortens treatment pathways, builds worker trust and keeps claims grounded in clinical reality.

/ Frequently Asked

Common questions.

Prompt clinical assessment of the injury or symptoms, an appropriate treatment pathway, early communication with the worker and supervisor, and suitable duties identified before deconditioning sets in. Done well, it dramatically reduces both claim frequency and claim duration.

Yes. Our occupational health advisors are registered nurses with mining, industrial and FIFO experience, supported by HSES's occupational health lead who brings 30+ years across nursing, midwifery and workplace health.

Yes. We take over or support return to work coordination for open claims — reviewing suitable duties, re-engaging treating practitioners and resetting upgrade plans that have stalled.

Yes. We liaise with insurers and their rehabilitation providers, and our clinical documentation gives insurers the quality of information that keeps claims moving rather than stalling in review.

Absolutely — and it usually should be. The same advisor presence can deliver onsite health screening, statutory health surveillance and injury management, which is more efficient and gives your workforce one consistent health contact.
