When your work involves long days at a computer, you don’t want to be bothered by an aching back, tight shoulders, headaches or painful arms. The set-up of your workplace plays a vital role in avoiding fatigue and keeping pain at bay, which is why workplace assessments are a big part of what we do at Bend + Mend. It’s possible to have all the “right” equipment and still be uncomfortable or at risk of injury; our practical approach focuses on finding an arrangement that actually suits you, making changes on the spot with your current equipment where we can.

Our assessments are carried out by physiotherapists with specialised training in office ergonomics who also treat work-related injuries every day. We offer flexible options for one person or over a hundred, onsite or via telehealth for anyone working from home, competitively priced, and a simple way to look after yourself, your team or your business.

FAQs

How do I know which assessment my business needs?

It depends on whether your team has reported specific discomfort or you’re looking to prevent issues proactively. Individuals or small numbers with existing concerns suit a Full Assessment; larger groups without reported issues suit a Streamlined Assessment. Try our quick checklist above, or contact us and we’ll help you decide.

Is there a minimum number of people required?

Only for the in-person Streamlined Assessment, which requires a minimum of 8 people per booking. The Full Assessment and Virtual Streamlined Assessment have no minimum.

Can assessments be done for remote or interstate staff?

Yes — our Virtual Streamlined Assessment and virtual Full Assessment option are both delivered over Zoom, so they suit teams working from home or across multiple locations.

How much does an assessment cost?

Pricing depends on the type and number of assessments, so we put together a personalised quote for every business. Contact our team with your team size and preferred format and we’ll get back to you with pricing.
