Improving recovery outcomes through a supported early intervention model

National Transport & Warehousing Provider

About the Partner

A large national logistics and warehousing organisation operating 24/7 across Australia.

The challenge

The organisation required a more proactive and supportive early intervention provider after experiencing low service engagement and slow recovery outcomes. They needed a model focused on keeping employees working safely, not simply scheduling appointments.

Our approach

Cogent Thinking introduced a Whole-of-Journey Early Intervention Model, including:

  • 24/7 Allied Health & Nurse triage
  • Access to a national medical and physiotherapy network
  • Telehealth medical consultations
  • Integration with the organisation’s safety reporting system
  • Referral pathways to onsite exercise physiology and EAP

Manager support and guidance to build confidence in early recovery conversations

Results of the program:
  • 40%+ increase in program participation
  • 60% reduction in cases requiring GP consultation
  • Return-to-work rate improved by 6%
  • Reduction in claims-related metrics and lost time impacts

The shift from “booking appointments” to “supporting recovery” created real and measurable change.
