Steve Morrow

Steve injured himself at work when he fell after losing his balance and, while trying to break his fall, impacted with a step down wall which resulted in his thumb being awkwardly dislocated.

Steve was without work for 13 months while he underwent rehabilitation through frequent visits to an orthopaedic surgeon.

Due to his injury Steve was unable to return to his previous employment in both carpentry and air conditioning and so was referred to Return to work assist.

Return to work assist identified an opportunity for Steve to undertake a Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Warehousing and Storage) with Skilling Solutions Queensland and kept in touch with him throughout the course.

Steve is now working in a role at his former company which utilises the forklift ticket he gained during his course and is thankful for the opportunities now open to him through the help of Return to work assist.
