Gary Watson

Gary was working on a cattle station as a horse breaker when a horse reared and fell on top of him, severely injuring both of his shoulders. After extensive physio and eight months without work, Gary was referred to Return to work assist to help him get back into the workforce.

Gary met with the team at Return to work assist, and was presented with a variety of available options. He decided to move into a role as an assistant in nursing and with the help of Return to work assist enrolled in classes to gain the skills he needed.

Gary now has a position in transitional care where he has worked for the past five months.
