When biomedical assessment meets psychosocial reality
Determination — In Discussion with Jackie (Part One)
A person’s 20s are characterised by many ‘firsts’. Milestone experiences in these years (graduations, weddings, babies) will dramatically shape a person’s life course. But for Jackie, her early 20s had a first she couldn’t have anticipated: her first interaction with the workers’ compensation system.
Independence: In Discussion with Jackie (Part Two)
A serious workplace injury fundamentally rerouted Jackie’s life journey. Jackie has evolved from her roots as a national equestrian competitor to emerge as a nationally respected allied health professional and advocate for workers. Jackie now works as a Senior Occupational Therapist with Procare Group in South Australia.
