Do you have game nights at home? 
In those nights, do you play games like UNO? 
 
UNO is more than just a card game when it comes to Occupational Therapy. In OT, UNO is a game that works on your planning, card management as well as your colour and number recognition.  
 
On the other side, playing UNO is great way for our therapists to build rapport with their clients. We use it in a lot of our sessions, and our clients love it. It’s also a great game to break the ice and helps clients work on these skills without it feeling like therapy!  
 
Contact us today if you want to build your skills and have some fun!

We have spoken about Social Prescribing before, now we are talking about what it actually looks like in your every day life!

We have a few goals and hopes through our social prescribing. We aim to reduce loneliness and isolation - we want you sharing your days in a social setting. With being social, we are also working on improving your mental health. When you have good mental health, do you know what goes hand in hand with it?

Your physical health!

Because when your mental health is good, you have the energy and drive to get out of bed and push your body!

Get in Contact with us today and find out more ways we can help you through social prescribing!

It has taken 6 years, but guess what?

The time has come to have a staff spotlight on our amazing admin in the rehab space, Nhi!

For 7 years, Nhi and her family called Canberra home, but last year Nhi made the decision to move back to where it all started in Adelaide and supports our team working remotely from there! Since moving, Nhi has missed Canberra more than she thought she would. She really misses the highways, the greenery and the view looking at the Brindabella Mountains driving home from work and we miss seeing her face in the office every day!

To keep herself busy Nhi does lots of crafts like Origami, Sewing, Crochet and Knitting. She also loves cooking and when she was in the Canberra office would hold Rice Paper Roll making sessions for the team.

Now having a baby has countless positives that comes with it, but one thing that also comes with that role is the early morning wake ups, which is 5am if you are Nhi!

Thanks for your hard work over the last 6 years Nhi! Here’s to many more!

Happy start to 2026 everyone!  We hope you had a good Christmas break, got spoilt from Santa and didn’t eat too much! (b...

2025 Recap! As we reach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to reflect on what a great year 2025 has been! 
 
We were part of the Commonwealth Bank and Matilda’s campaign to support small businesses and had our company promoted around Sydney. We were so lucky to be part of this campaign and want to thank CBA and the Matildas for their support! 
 
Some delicious work lunches were had, including a rice paper roll making session. We also has some amazing therapy sessions with our clients, some Uni students joined us for their placement, and work experience student Ashleigh joined us for a fun week in the Canberra office! 
 
After a significant neurological health event 4 years ago which led to epilepsy, Fi had been working very very hard and finally achieved her goal of getting back behind the wheel this year! 
 
We attended many events like the ACT Insurance Ball, an AT training summit, Deaf Festival in Sydney, and CPR/First Aid Training. 
 
Overall we would say it has been a pretty good year. We are so glad we get to do the work we do, and get to help people achieve their goals! Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to working with you in 2026!

Time for our last staff spotlight for 2025 - Meet Ange! 
 
Ange is one of our amazing EPs here at TRS, she also works in the rehab space and is our clinical team lead. She has been with TRS for 1.5 years and we are so appreciative of all the work she does. 
 
When Ange isn’t hard at work during the day, she will try and get away with her family in the caravan and explore the outdoors. She enjoys playing sport, fine dining and is a big beach lover! After all, her favourite season is Summer! 
 
Ange also loves dumplings and says that if she can only have one food for the rest of her life, dumplings would have to be it! 
 
Thank you for all the work you do for us Ange! TRS wouldn’t be the same without you.

Do you know what today is?

It’s Tip Tuesday!

Today’s tip is on Workstation assessments!

Here at the Rehabilitation Specialists, we provide office and home-based ergonomic workstation assessments as either preventative measure or to address a specific concern that has been raised. This could be an injury or an area of discomfort.

So, what is an ergonomic workstation assessment?

An ergonomic workstation assessment involves evaluating your workplace set up to ensure it promotes comfort, efficiency and health to minimise the risk of injury. These assessments help identify potential hazards and provide recommendations to improve posture and enhance overall wellbeing.

Here are some tips for improving your workstation setup:

Make sure your thighs running parallel to the ground with hips and knees at 90 degrees.

Make sure your feet are placed firmly on the ground. If that’s not possible, elevate your feet by using a footrest.

Have your forearms and shoulders resting just above desk height. Make sure your shoulders are relaxed and not hunched.

Make sure head stays upright and your eyes are in line with the top third of the screen.

If you want some extra tips for your time at the office. Throughout the day, make sure you take stretch breaks or go for a walk. You can also use the 20/20/20 rule: for at least 20 seconds, focus on a object 20 meters away every 20 minutes.

If you would like an ergonomic workstation assessment, book in with one of our team members today!

Can an employment consultant help me look for jobs and if so, how?

Come meet our Employment Consultant, Megan!

Megan has a range of ways that she can help find a job. She can help you with the traditional routes like Seek, Indeed and Linkedin.

Another way that she can help you, is by calling employers to see if they have any positions that may not be advertised to the public. So you can get the first shot at the job before it is advertised.

With the help from Megan, we can help you on the road to employment.

When you’re sitting at your desk, we know you will be thanking Megan for the work she did with you!

Do you need some employment help? Contact us!
