Return to Work Support

Vivo Recovery

Helping you to get back to doing what you love.

After suffering an illness or injury that prevents you from earning a living, it’s important to get your life back on track as soon as possible. Research shows that work is good for your physical and psychological health and your overall wellbeing.

Returning to work helps you make a valuable contribution to your family and society. It connects you with your colleagues and community while keeping you financially secure. Not only does returning to work give structure to your days and weeks, but it also helps you stay physically and mentally active.

In collaboration with you and your healthcare team, we can help you stay at or return to work. This may involve helping you stay at your current workplace, through cooperation with your employer.
