What Nabenet does

Nabenet (legally Innovative Physiotherapy Services Pty. Ltd.) is an Australian provider of injury management, occupational rehabilitation, and workplace health and safety services, operating as a subsidiary of the Altius Group. The company delivers return-to-work programs under the WorkSafe Victoria scheme through two primary service lines: Original Employer Services (OES) for workers returning to their pre-injury employer, and New Employer Services (NES) for workers placed with new employers. It complements these core rehabilitation services with occupational health and safety consulting (audits, gap analysis, psychosocial risk assessments, safety program implementation), workplace wellbeing offerings through its Nabenet Health sub-brand (flu vaccinations, workplace health checks, Mental Health First Aid training), and ad hoc training products such as Supervisor Injury Management Training and ergonomic assessments.

Nabenet's delivery model is human-expert-led and physically distributed: a multidisciplinary team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and exercise physiologists provides services through 17 office locations spanning metropolitan Melbourne (Hawthorn HQ, Melbourne CBD, Mornington, Mulgrave, Broadmeadows, Chelsea Heights, Point Cook, Greensborough, Berwick, Caroline Springs, Croydon) and regional Victoria (Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Morwell), with additional South Australia operations headquartered in Dulwich. The company holds WorkSafe Victoria accreditation with the highest possible 3-star OES rating sustained across five consecutive quarters and ISO 9001:2015 certification covering rehabilitation, injury management, and training services.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees across multiple streams: WorkSafe and agent-referred case management (OES/NES), per-attendee training course pricing ($338-$500 plus GST per person for Mental Health First Aid and $395 incl. GST for Supervisor Injury Management Training), onsite employer services such as flu vaccinations and ergonomic assessments, and TAC claims support. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, inside sales via phone and email, free regional educational events and lunch series across Victoria, and open-enrollment training through the TryBooking platform. Notable disclosed scale metrics include 4,000+ injured workers assisted in 2025, results 10% above the WorkSafe scheme median, and a history of recognition through ARPA Victoria Excellence awards from 2013 through 2025.

Direct peers

• IPAR Rehabilitation: Direct national competitor in occupational rehabilitation and return-to-work services across Australia. Both deliver allied-health-led injury management, OES/NES-equivalent services, and workplace injury prevention to workers' compensation schemes, overlapping directly with Nabenet's core offering.
• Konekt Workcare: Direct competitor in Australian occupational rehabilitation and return-to-work services, now part of APM Group. Overlaps directly with Nabenet's OES/NES WorkSafe panel services, early intervention programs, and employer consulting.
• Rehab Management (Acumen Health): National occupational rehabilitation provider delivering return-to-work, injury management, and workplace health services. Direct competitor to Nabenet across multiple state workers' compensation schemes.
• WorkFocus Australia: Allied health-led occupational rehabilitation provider operating nationally across Australia. Competitor to Nabenet in delivering return-to-work and injury management services to workers' compensation schemes.
• Recovery Partners: Australian occupational rehabilitation and workplace health services provider. Competes with Nabenet on return-to-work case management, vocational rehabilitation, and employer-side injury prevention.

Broad incumbents

• Altius Group: Parent company of Nabenet and broader occupational rehabilitation, health, and wellbeing group. Operates multi-brand rehab and consulting services nationally, providing strategic context and benchmark for Nabenet's positioning within a larger portfolio.

Others

• APM Workcare (APM Group): Large global employment services, disability, and occupational rehabilitation group. Overlaps with Nabenet through occupational rehab and employment services, and competes for major employer contracts at a national scale Nabenet cannot match.
• Mental Health First Aid Australia: Accredited MHFA training provider whose curriculum Nabenet delivers. Adjacent partner rather than competitor, but represents the standard Nabenet's training revenue is benchmarked against and an enabler of Nabenet's MHFA course offering.

Emerging players

• Health Works Australia: Australian workplace health and rehabilitation provider. Comparable to Nabenet in vocational rehabilitation, workplace assessments, and injury management, though smaller and more regionally focused.
• CoreHealth Group: Allied health and workplace injury management provider with overlapping services in pre-employment screening, occupational rehabilitation, and return-to-work consulting.
