National Panel of Assessors (NPA)
Since 2010, we have provided disability assessment services for the Department of Social Services under the National Panel of Assessors (NPA). The National Panel of Assessors (NPA) is part of Disability Employment Services (DES).
As a member of the NPA, you may be referred to us by your DES (Disability Employment Services) provider to undergo a workplace assessment.
This may include one of the following:
- Workplace Modification Scheme Assessments
- Through the DSS Employment Assistance Fund, we conduct workplace assessments to identify suitable adjustments to accommodate people with physical and/or mental health conditions.
Ongoing Support Assessments
- We assess workers with a disability where a Disability Employment Service Provider determines that the worker may need ongoing support in the workplace to retain their job.
Supported Wage Scheme Assessments
- We conduct independent workplace productivity assessments for employers wishing to employ people with disability under the government’s Supported Wage System provisions.
Intelligence Testing Service
Rehab Management undertake intelligence testing, using standardised testing and qualified staff, for Disability Employment Services (DES) participants to establish a full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) measure.
The assessments are conducted by fully registered psychologists or provisional psychologists under their supervision, ensuring a high level of expertise in both administration and interpretation.
The Intelligence Testing Service is performed face-to-face using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Fourth Edition: Australian and New Zealand Language Adapted Edition (WAIS-IV A&NZ Language Adapted Edition), digital version to obtain the FSIQ
