Vocational Assessment - find your potential employment opportunities

Vocational Assessments analyse an individual’s capacity to perform physical and/or psychological tasks in tandem with their unique experience, training, and education to determine suitable job options. The assessment can range from a brief vocational screening through to detailed assessment and vocational counselling. 

Our qualified Psychologists and Rehabilitation Counsellors perform these assessments as they are highly skilled in determining vocational potentials and suitable working environments. Our  assessment includes: 

• an analysis of the individual’s work history;
• suitable vocational options relevant to an obtainable labour market openings; and
• recommended strategies to achieve vocational goals.
