For rehabilitation providers, occupational-health organisations, insurers, claims managers and employers.

Occupational questions

What Reflo helps clarify

Focused medical guidance for decisions about mental health and work.

01

Work capacity

Can they currently work?

02

Hours & duties

What workload is appropriate?

03

Restrictions & adjustments

What changes may support safe work?

04

Next steps

What review or progression is appropriate?

Assessments are conducted by Australian-registered medical practitioners undertaking specialist training in psychiatry, where appropriate to the referral question.

The problem

When the diagnosis is known, but the work decision still isn’t.

Mental-health conditions can make occupational decisions difficult when existing information describes symptoms or diagnosis but does not clearly define work capacity, suitable duties, appropriate restrictions or next steps.

Unclear capacity

Existing medical information may not say what the person can actually do at work.

Unclear restrictions

Referrers may not know what duties, hours or adjustments are appropriate.

Unclear pathway

When decisions stall, organisations may need clearer medical guidance about progression or escalation.

Services

Occupational mental-health assessments

Focused medical assessments addressing common occupational mental-health questions.

Core assessment

Work Capacity Assessment

Clarifies current work capacity, suitable hours and duties, functional limitations, restrictions and review needs.

Return-to-Work Assessment

Provides medical guidance for graded or stalled return-to-work planning.

Fitness-for-Work Assessment

Assesses whether current mental-health symptoms or functional limitations affect safe and reliable performance of the role.

Workplace Restrictions & Adjustments

Identifies appropriate restrictions and adjustments that may support sustainable participation at work.

Pre-Employment Mental Health Review

Provides focused medical clarification where psychiatric history or disclosure requires review in relation to the inherent requirements of the role.

Assessment type and clinician credential are matched to the referral question. Matters requiring specialist psychiatric opinion or another specific credential are identified for appropriate escalation.

Assessment output

Clear conclusions for practical work decisions.

Reflo reports are structured around the occupational questions the referrer needs answered, with clear conclusions about capacity, duties, restrictions and appropriate next steps.

Detailed reasoning and relevant clinical information sit behind a concise occupational summary.

Clinical approach

Appropriate expertise for the question being asked.

Reflo Health provides focused occupational medical assessments rather than ongoing psychiatric treatment.

Assessments are provided through Australian-registered medical practitioners undertaking specialist training in psychiatry, where appropriate to the referral question, clinician competence and applicable requirements.

Matters requiring specialist psychiatric opinion, permanent impairment assessment, complex causation, expert evidence or another specific credential are identified as outside the routine assessment pathway.

Function first

Focus on occupational function rather than diagnosis alone.

Appropriate scope

Clinician and assessment type are matched to the referral question.

Clear limitations

Reports identify relevant evidence, reasoning and limitations.
