Fire Rescue Victoria

Supporting the wellbeing of a high-risk, statewide workforce
About Fire Rescue Victoria

Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) is responsible for fire and emergency response across metropolitan and major regional areas. Their firefighters and operational staff work in high-risk, high-pressure environments where mental and physical wellbeing must be proactively supported.

The challenge

FRV required a comprehensive, integrated medical and mental health support program that would meet the needs of a geographically dispersed workforce and the unique operational realities of emergency service personnel. The program needed to be flexible, reliable, and scalable—capable of delivering consistent, high-quality care across diverse locations while aligning with the operational needs and cultural context of emergency services.

Our approach

In March 2023, Cogent Thinking implemented a statewide Integrated Health and Wellbeing Services Program, designed to deliver coordinated medical, psychological, and wellbeing support across a geographically dispersed workforce.

The program integrates 24/7 injury triage, Health Monitoring, Prevention, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, enabling early intervention, continuity of care, and seamless support from recruitment to retirement.

Our approach is grounded in partnership and integration, and includes:

Leveraging established clinical and operational infrastructure across metropolitan and regional locations to ensure consistent service delivery

Delivering Health Monitoring to support early identification of occupational cancer, cardiovascular, physical and psychological risk

Deploying an experienced multidisciplinary team with deep understanding of the operational and psychosocial demands of high-risk, frontline work

Providing a flexible, hybrid delivery model (onsite, face-to-face, and telehealth) to ensure care is accessible, timely, and operationally aligned
Results of the program:
Statewide program successfully implemented and embedded

High levels of engagement across metro and regional locations

Strengthened alignment between internal and external wellbeing supports

Increased access to timely mental health support for members and their families

A model designed to scale and adapt to operational rhythms and emerging risks
Government Department

Early support for school leaders
About the Partner

The Department oversees a diverse network of schools across the state. School principals and leaders carry complex workloads and play influential roles within their local communities.

The challenge

Principals in regional and remote communities can face heightened pressures, including balancing leadership responsibilities, community expectations, and personal wellbeing. In times of crisis, such as bushfire events, the emotional toll can be significant. The Department required a confidential, responsive support program tailored to the realities of school leadership.

Our approach

Since 2020, Cogent Thinking has delivered the Early Intervention Program, providing immediate access to psychological support and wellbeing services.

Our model ensures that support begins at the very first call:

A clinically-led intake process, enabling timely and appropriate care matching

Goal based program to support improvements in psychological and physical health

Dedicated support for mental health concerns, whether work-related or personal

A sensitive approach to community context, acknowledging the close-knit nature of regional towns

Delivery of targeted regional programs following community-impact events, offering counselling, triage, and follow-up care
Results of the program:
Improved access to early psychological intervention for school leaders across the state

Reduced delays in receiving care, supporting recovery and resilience

Consistent participant feedback highlighting confidentiality, trust and relief

Strengthened wellbeing culture across the statewide school network

Improvements in psychological and physical health scores post program

About Hydro Tasmania

On-site counselling across multiple regional and remote locations

Aviation

Supporting the health and recovery of a global aviation workforce
About the Partner

The organisation employs a large and diverse workforce across Australia, New Zealand and international locations. Many roles involve safety-critical tasks, travel across time zones, and time spent away from home.

The challenge

The organisation needed an early intervention partner that could provide 24/7 support to employees wherever they were, including pilots and cabin crew experiencing illness or injury while away from their home port. The service needed to meet aviation regulatory requirements and integrate smoothly with internal teams and unions.

Our approach

In partnership with the organisation since 2015, Cogent Thinking delivers a 24/7 Injury Triage, a tailored Early Intervention Program that ensures employees receive timely, coordinated care. The program includes:

24/7 Allied Health & Nurse triage

Access to a mapped national medical and physiotherapy network

Telehealth consultations with medical practitioners

Short-term case management in the early days following injury or illness

Integration with HR data to support proactive follow-up and coordination

The program has expanded to include health monitoring, audiometric testing and COVID-related health services as workforce needs have evolved.
Results of the program:
20,000+ cases supported since program launch

96% return-to-work rate (past 12 months)

50% reduction in lost time days in the first 12 months

NPS +55, reflecting strong employee trust and satisfaction

24/7 Injury Triage demonstrates how early support, delivered consistently and with care, leads to safer recovery and sustained workforce confidence.

The challenge

Our approach

24/7 Allied Health & Nurse triage
