Hi Fyzzio,

from what I know, most rehab consultants would work for rehab companies, some for insurance. They are involved in the whole return to work process after an accident/health condition (usually Workcover), they would do e.g. functional capacity evaluations, pre-employment screenings, ergonomic worksite assessments, case-management, liaison with various stakeholders etc.
Iīve heard though that it can be quite a draining job, especially working for a rehab company, as you deal with difficult people who often donīt want to return to work. Apparently, thereīs a high-turnover for rehab consultants as the job is quite stressful. But thatīs not based on my own experience - so it would be interesting to talk to somebody who has actually worked in that field and would be able to give a realistic insight into this industry.
