Early Intervention

Early Intervention the HCB Way

Early Intervention is HCB Group’s core service and has evolved as market needs have changed. The HCB Group’s approach is underpinned by science and experience and because we know that work is wellness, we have a passion to keep people in work.   

Our approach is proactive, unlike the traditional Occupational Health model where post absence engagement is the norm. HCB Australia deploys the collaborative tools to engage pre absence, and earlier post absence than is the accepted norm. Both Insurers and employers acknowledge that timely notifications remain a real challenge when it comes to unplanned absence, and this often results in workplace absence being medicalised too soon and often, unnecessarily. There is overwhelming evidence to show that the earlier an HCB Australia Clinical Case Manager can be involved in a potential or actual workplace absence, the better, safer, and more sustainable the outcome. HCB Australia clinical team collaboration with the Insurer and employer client, and the existing services like Rehab and EAP,  together with client commitment and resolve to reduce unplanned workplace absence, will reduce, and contain absenteeism and the associated costs a business is exposed to, significantly. For an Insurer, claim incidence and duration is vastly improved. Our unique and differentiated proposition supports an employer client to demonstrate compliance with WH&S Legislative obligations to manage PsychoSocial hazards.
