Return-to-Work Assessment Gauteng
Practical return-to-work assessments that compare functional ability with job demands, so employers, insurers, and employees can decide next steps with confidence.
A return-to-work (RTW) assessment clarifies whether someone is ready to resume work, what restrictions apply, and which duties are safe and sustainable.
Nelisiwe OT Services provides independent RTW assessments for Johannesburg and Gauteng workplaces, supporting employees, HR teams, insurers, and case managers.

When a Return-to-Work Assessment Helps
- After injury, surgery, or prolonged sick leave
- When fitness-for-work opinions are unclear or contested
- When graded return or temporary alternative duties are being considered
- When workplace accommodations need clinical justification
What We Assess
- Current functional ability relative to essential job demands
- Tolerance for sitting, standing, lifting, and task duration where relevant

- Practical recommendations for phased RTW or restrictions
