Individual Ergonomic Assessments

Individual Ergonomic Assessments are indicated for employees who are already regularly presenting with, or reporting, symptoms whilst working at their desk, as well as for those who have a request for an ergonomic assessment from their treating medical or health practitioner. 

Our ergonomic assessments are completed by experienced workplace physiotherapists who are specialists in ergonomics and workplace injury prevention.

FAQ's About Individual Ergonomic Assessments

What is included in an Individual Ergonomic Assessment?

  • An in-depth ergonomic assessment by a qualified and experienced Physiotherapist who specialises in workplace ergonomics and workplace injury prevention. The assessment includes an ergonomic assessment of the employees' workstation, as well as a discussion with the employee about their injury and presenting symptoms.
  • All necessary adjustments to the employees' workstation, aimed at alleviating the presenting symptoms and preventing exacerbation. 
  • Employee education, aimed at addressing and reducing the presenting symptoms. 
  • A detailed report provided to your nominated HR/OHS representative outlining our findings, and any additional recommendations, such as ergonomic equipment.
  • ​Follow up as required. 


Time required for an Individual Ergonomic Assessment?

​We will require approximately 30 minutes of time with your employee onsite to perform a thorough Individual Ergonomic Assessment. We will then compile our report offsite and provide it to you within two business days. 

​
Cost?

The cost for an Individual Ergonomic Assessment and report is $320 + gst.

Reduced pricing may apply for multiple assessments. If you are looking for ergonomic assessments for your entire office, please see our Ergonomic Sweep page.

​
What is the difference between Individual Ergonomic Assessments and Ergonomic Assessment Sweeps?

Individual ergonomic assessments are reactive in nature and are for employees who are already injured or already have presenting symptoms. In comparison, our office ergonomic assessment sweeps are proactive in nature and involve a brief ergonomic assessment with each employee in the office. 

Individual ergonomic assessments require more time with the employee and include a much more detailed report than an ergonomic assessment sweep.

What is an Ergonomic Assessment?

Ergonomic assessments consider the relationship that an individual has with all of the equipment and furniture at his or her workstation, such as the chair position, desk height, monitor and laptop positions, keyboard, and mouse. Environmental factors such as lighting, glare, noise and temperature are also be considered when applicable. 

An ergonomic assessment ensures that your employees' workstation is set up in a way that suits his or her individual health needs, improving comfort and reducing the risk of an overuse injury developing. The added benefit for your organisation is improved productivity and fewer sick days.

Recently we have had Jordan from The Ergonomic Physio come out and do both ergonomic assessments for our admin team and manual handling training for all of our educators. Not only is Jordan professional, knowledgeable and thorough, he also came up with innovative ideas and solutions when working with our team, who have different manual handling needs, as they work with children and not in an office. Jordan then supported us with sourcing the best equipment to meet our needs. On top of all of this Jordan is also extremely friendly and personable. I couldn’t recommend him and The Ergonomic Physio highly enough
