Donna and her team have been an integral component of our risk reduction, pre-employment, injury management, rehabilitation and return to work and risk management activities for over 4 years. During this time we enjoyed a collaborative working relationship with her and her team which has dramatically decreased our injury rates and increased our return to work time by:  1. Risk Reduction Programs; 2. Enhanced focus on job demands during the hiring phase;  3. Monitoring safety compliance by ensuring a risk management approach for all roles; 4. Proactively managing return to work programs.

Donna and her team do more than just work with us …. They have become a part of the way we do business. They consistently provide the right advice, even when we don’t realise we need it.

I have worked with Dr Venerina Johnston since 2005.  A great strength of hers has been her ability to connect evidence with policy and practice.  She is pragmatic in taking research findings and applying them in a practical way to workplace needs.  She has been a leader in occupational rehabilitation, integrating the physical and psychosocial dimensions of health as they relate to work.  As a collaborator I have found that she can always be relied upon to deliver what she said she would.
