Acclaimed Workforce’s EIP is a pilot program in the Barossa for our clients and other businesses. Working together with Physioactive, this program provides free physiotherapy sessions to employees as a way to prevent soreness or pain from becoming an injury that might otherwise require your employees to take time off work or result in costly WorkCover claims.
The most recent statistics from Safe Work Australia show that workplace injuries cost $61.8 billion annually. Additionally, once a worker has been off for three months, the likelihood of them returning to work reduces to just 50%. It’s typically smaller niggles and pains that go ignored which result in these more serious injuries occurring. This makes prevention and management of injuries key for employers.
Our team can arrange specific, targeted training or provide on-site talks and safety posters in line with your requirements.
We are also able provide pre-employment and random drug and alcohol testing as part of a tailored workforce management solution.

Functional Capacity Testing
To ensure employees are fit for the job, we are able to provide functional capacity testing services to assess range of motion, strength and manual handling. Functional capacity testing has proven to reduce injuries on site, where manual labour is a necessary of a job.
Safety is our number 1 priority
Acclaimed Workforce has always considered safety to be our number one priority, and have comprehensive ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management systems in place. In fact, we have driven many of the safety improvements in the industry over the last 30 years through our involvement in the Recruitment & Consulting Services Association (RCSA). This was acknowledged by the RCSA, who named their safety award after our affiliate company, the Bayside Group’s former employee, the late Malcolm McLean.
