VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENT & TRANSFERABLE SKILLS ASSESSMENT
Vocational Assessments and Transferrable Skills Assessments involve the analysis of an injured worker’s current skills and experience to assist in identifying their vocational potential for redeployment with a Rehabilitation Psychologist or Rehabilitation Counsellor.
This process involves a variety of assessment considerations including:
- Review of medical restrictions and current work capacity, documented physical tolerances, and functional capacities
- Review of prior work experience, education, and literacy and numeracy skills
- Review of transferable skills, interests, goals and motivation
- Analysis of current job-seeking skills and any psychosocial barriers present
- Retraining or upskilling options if applicable
WORK PLACEMENTS
STAR can assist injured workers with finding a ‘host employer’ for either work hardening or redeployment/retraining.
Host employment or work trials are short-term placements that allow an injured worker to safely and gradually progress their functional capacity, under medical supervision, at an alternate place of employment. This arrangement works well for workers whose physical or psychological injuries prevent them from returning to their previous place of employment.
Alternatively, some workers may require a permanent new role. In this situation, the STAR Career Transition Team will reach out to their extensive network of employer partners to support the worker in successfully securing new permanent employment.
PREPARE…
for a new career pathway
STAR will help you gain the skills and confidence you need to re-enter the workforce.

- Interview skills including online and phone screen preparation
Completion of a STAR program can assist in developing positive workplace habits, boost productivity in the workplace, expand the options available for return to work, and facilitate ongoing success.
REDEPLOYMENT
Redeployment is a coordinated and planned set of activities over the course of several weeks or months, aimed at assisting an injured worker to achieve either Same Employer/New Duties outcome or New Employer/New Duties outcome.
The Redeployment process:
- Occurs in consultation with yourself and all involved stakeholders, including your treating Medical Practitioner, workers’ Compensation Insurer, and often your pre-injury Employer
- Access to a range of Consultants including STAR Rehabilitation Psychologists and STAR Career Transition Specialists
- Typically involves a work-hardening placement (with a Host Employer or possibly your pre-injury Employer)
- May involve Vocational Counselling
- May involve access to formalised training courses, skill sets or work readiness activities
- Will involve your STAR Injury Management Consultant undertaking regular communication with yourself and relevant key parties during the course of vocational redeployment
SUPPORT
…you to secure your new role
STAR understands re-entering the workforce is a daunting process when recovering from an injury.
JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE (JSA)
Following a Vocational Assessment/Transferrable Skills Assessment (Link), STAR’s Career Transition Specialists offer tailored Job Search Assistance programs that provide you with the resources and practical skills to become competitive in the open market and start applying for work.
The program can involve:
- Resume preparation or review
- Job application support
- Guidance on interview structure, preparing for interviews and agreeing on future job search direction as well as positive disclosure of injury (when, why and how to disclose)
STAR Injured workers who have successfully engaged in a redeployment program have the necessary skills and capabilities to independently find and secure sustainable and suitable employment.
