Ngā mōhiohio e pā ana ki tēnei mahi (About this position)

Ko wai tatou – Who are we

Proactive Rehab is a nationwide healthcare provider specialising in injury management and rehabilitation since 1999. We have 35 locations across the motu and deliver services to ACC, Employers, Private Insurers and Te Whatu Ora. 

We engage kiritaki and anyone that we are working with in a way that is understanding, natural, and proactive. We work hard to “get” people and where they’re coming from, to work with them in a way that matches their learning style, and that we actively take the steps to make sure that people’s needs are met.

We use the Four Corners of Health™ to deliver a truly holistic approach to Transformative Rehabilitation. Our approach means we work with kiritaki to build the knowledge and insight needed to improve wellbeing and enable a platform from which to thrive.
