“…There is also a real need to engage in dialogue with contracting teams and principal contractors to proactively identify workplace opportunities for early intervention and graduated return to work. Rehabilitation practitioners, particularly rehabilitation counsellors who are traditionally strong in workplace engagement (Biggs, 1999), are also in a position to assess, coordinate and train workplace resources in disability management techniques from their occupational health and safety base. Finally, construction workers in general are typically unaware of the full range of services and supports that are available following an accident.…”

The high injury rate with in the Australian construction industry necessitates proactive action on the behalf of rehabilitation professionals. Safety culture is a concept that is gaining traction within this sector as a useful concept to further reduce fatalities, injuries and incidents. Ten focus groups were completed with Australia's largest constructors to investigate this concept of safety culture and to further evaluate the skills, knowledge and abilities required by people who hold influential and key roles. Data interpretation revealed three important personal characteristics that underlie a positive safety culture: safety knowledge, user/interpersonal skills and appropriate attitudes and beliefs. These findings are applied to the rehabilitation process and it is concluded that rehabilitation professionals need to contribute to the development of a positive safety culture by enhancing the workforce's understanding of injury management.

“…The transferable skills of RCs, or the sharing of common core competencies, with other professions was addressed by Lenertz (1999). One research paper focused upon computer-based training of case management skills (Reid, Chan, Wong, Wheaton & Long, 1995), another upon the revision of a standardised RCs skills inventory in which RCs rate the frequency and importance of a wide range of tasks (Biggs, 1999). These papers provided a broad framework from which future research could consider the core roles and functions of RCs.…”

In this study, the author reviewed 32 studies, published in The Australian Journal of Rehabilitation Counselling (AJRC) from 1995 to 2000, that examined the authors' theoretical perspectives and how the authors and/or rehabilitation counsellors (RCs) as research participants defined quality practice. Their theoretical perspectives ranged from systems, psychological and psychosocial theories and specific disability or minority group issues. These theoretical perspectives were examined in relation to the methods of quality practice advocated by AJRC authors and/or their RC-research participants, these being: relationship building, assessment, goal setting, affective and vocational counselling, case management, self-care, and evaluation of services. Notwithstanding a commendable diversity in the range of theory and quality practice reported, several AJRC authors observed a lack of clarity regarding the professional identity of RCs; and the research papers lacked consistency and clarity in defining the characteristics of RC-participants. There were also opposing views concerning where RCs stood in relation to other stakeholders in the rehabilitation process. Further research is recommended to better understand the diversity evident in the roles and functions of Australian RCs in different rehabilitation settings.

“…In a similar vein the importance of practitioner skills and competencies continues to be emphasised (e.g. Biggs, 1999, Biggs 6k Flett, 1995Biggs, Flett, 6k Voges, 1995;Gandy 6k Martin, 1999;Peressini 6k McDonald, 1998;Toth, Stockton 6k Erwin, 1998;Williams, Pesut, Boyd, Russell, Morrow 6k Head, 1998) but the relationships between competencies and job satisfaction remains to be considered in detail.…”

We examined relations between organisational perceptions (organisational commitment, organisational climate), personal evaluations (occupational self efficacy, skills/competencies) and subsequent job satisfaction (extrinsic and intrinsic) among a group of 101 New Zealand rehabilitation case managers. Analyses indicated that organisational commitment, organisational climate and perceived skills/competencies made a significant contribution to the prediction of extrinsic job satisfaction while organisational climate alone was a significant predictor of intrinsic job satisfaction. Despite a number of limitations, the findings have implications for the understanding of die occupational dynamics of rehabilitation service provision and illustrate the importance of a continued research focus on the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction in rehabilitation professionals.
