Woolworths & RP Relationship

Recovery Partners work heavily within self-insurance models and inherently

understood the relative challenges of that environment. Ability to be highly

sensitive to the commercial realities of working in a hypercompetitive, low

margin industry, and the need for superior return on investments.

Bryce worked directly with Recovery Partners via Warehousing engagements

(Wyong) dating back to 2011. Minchinbury SRDC engagements commenced in

2015 through Occupational Rehabilitation & RTWC facilitation.

Recovery Partners initially provided OR services, then moved to specialised

projects in injury prevention, risk management, and RTW facilitation.
