RediMed's Early Intervention services are delivered through time-limited, structured programs of care, with clearly defined scope, capped costs and planned communication. Interventions are work-focused, aligned to job demands, and supported by timely feedback to the employer to inform appropriate workplace adjustments or next steps. Early Intervention may include targeted allied health or medical input, selected based on the worker’s needs, and is not a substitute for workers’ compensation, but a preventative and risk-management approach designed to reduce injury severity, claim likelihood and downstream cost.
Early intervention is ideally commenced within the first 0–14 days following the date of injury, where timely support is most effective in preventing escalation. Each package typically runs for a short, defined period of 3-5 treatment sessions (including Initial Assessment) which take place 2–4 weeks from commencement of treatment. With conclusion of the Early Intervention Program taking place up to approximately 6-8 weeks from date of injury or following the conclusion of the defined Early Intervention package, whichever occurs first. Where ongoing treatment or complex management is required, escalation to an alternative pathway is recommended.
