Returning to work after brain injury

Client toolkit

Published: February 2024. Next review: 2028.

With the right support and planning, many people successfully get back to work after their brain injury. This toolkit includes the experiences of people with a brain injury who have returned to work.

Your goal may be to return to work. This is a big step in your recovery. Starting work is more likely to succeed if you take time to plan and prepare. Talk to your rehab team about returning to work and follow their advice.

You can go through this toolkit with your rehab team. You will find information, advice and stories from people who have gone back to work.

The toolkit does not replace the support you receive from your rehab team and vocational provider.

The toolkit covers key areas of working after a brain injury.
