WorkWise: Working with a musculoskeletal condition


We know how challenging it can be to manage your musculoskeletal condition/s and to work.

Our ‘Making the invisible visible’ report based on a national consumer survey indicated that 66% of survey respondents’ ability to work had been impacted by their condition. And 33% stated that they had to stop work entirely due to their condition/s.

With the assistance of our Consumer Advisory Committee, we created WorkWise for workers who live with musculoskeletal conditions. It provides information to help you manage your symptoms at work, as well as tips, strategies, and resources to help you continue to work, change jobs, understand your rights and more.

WorkWise was made possible through a generous grant from The Iorine Estelle Demmer and Hugh Eardley Demmer Charitable Trust, managed by Equity Trustees.
