Physiotherapist-Led Gold Standard Assessment
Workstation Ergonomic Assessments Across Australia
At Urban Ergonomics, our ergonomic workstation assessments are delivered in person by registered musculoskeletal physiotherapists with advanced training in ergonomics, workplace design and injury prevention.
Because we diagnose and treat posture-related headaches, neck pain, RSI and shoulder injuries every day at Urban Physiotherapy, our musculoskeletal injury clinic, we understand exactly how poor workstation setup and work habits evolve into clinical injuries.
Unlike generic ergonomic assessors, our assessments represent the Gold Standard of Ergonomic Practice — delivered by clinical physiotherapists at the forefront of musculoskeletal design, treatment and injury prevention. Every assessment is clinically driven, practical and immediately actionable, combining biomechanical expertise with real-world workstation optimisation.
Whats Included in our Assessments
1. In-person workstation assessment
Conducted on-site in the workplace, in-office, or at home, assessing how the individual interacts with their workstation in real working conditions.
2. Clinical assessment by musculoskeletal physiotherapists
Assessments are performed by registered physiotherapists with specialist expertise in biomechanics, injury mechanisms and musculoskeletal load — not checklist-based ergonomic consultants.
3. Immediate workstation modifications with real-time education
Practical adjustments are made on the spot. Every change is explained in real time, including why it’s required, how it reduces injury risk, and how to maintain it long-term. Questions are encouraged throughout.
4. Individualised exercises and preventative strategies
Where appropriate, targeted exercises, stretches and preventative strategies are prescribed by the physiotherapist to address identified risks and reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence
5. Formalised Ergonomic reporting and Equipment recommendations
-
Before and after photos of the workstation
-
Assessment of all relevant components, including screen(s), keyboard, mouse, chair, desk, footrests, phone and headset equipment, webcams and any other workstation-specific items
-
A clear summary of issues identified
-
Changes implemented during the assessment
-
Recommended actions and equipment, where required
-
All recommended ergonomic equipment can be sourced directly through Urban Ergonomics, providing organisations with a single, end-to-end solution for workstation safety, consistency and WHS compliance.
Improving Workplace Health & Performance
Wellness & Health Programs
Our workplace health and wellbeing programs support organisations in prioritising the health, resilience, and performance of their workforce.
The focus is on aligning employee wellbeing with organisational performance outcomes.
We work closely with HR leaders, managers, and employees to design tailored initiatives that support both business objectives and individual wellbeing.
This ensures programs are relevant, targeted, and outcome-driven.
Led by experienced ergonomic consultants and supported by clinical physiotherapy expertise, our programs take a structured, evidence-based approach to workplace wellbeing.
This integrates clinical insight with practical workplace application.
We focus on improving both physical and mental health across the workforce, supporting employees to better manage the demands of their roles while contributing to a healthier and more productive workplace culture.
Every organisation is different, which is why our approach is fully tailored to workforce needs. We offer a broad range of initiatives targeting movement, musculoskeletal health, mental wellbeing, and workplace resilience.
Programs are designed to build capability, not just deliver one-off interventions.
Employees are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to take an active role in managing their own health and wellbeing.
This supports long-term behaviour change and sustainable outcomes.
By enabling employees to prioritise their wellbeing, organisations foster environments where individuals feel supported, engaged, and able to perform effectively.
This contributes to reduced absenteeism, improved morale, and stronger workforce engagement.
Through an integrated approach to workplace health—addressing physical health, mental resilience, movement, and ergonomics together—our programs deliver meaningful and sustainable improvements.
The outcome is a healthier, more resilient workforce and improved organisational performance.

Individualised exercises and preventative strategies
Our team delivers engaging wellbeing initiatives designed to educate, motivate, and support employees. Through practical guidance and expert-led sessions, employees gain strategies that help them better manage workplace demands and maintain their health and energy.
STEP 5
Workplace Integration and Lasting Outcomes
As wellbeing initiatives become integrated into the workplace, employees gain the knowledge and confidence to actively prioritise their physical and mental health. Through practical strategies and ongoing awareness, individuals are empowered to take ownership of their wellbeing while better managing the demands of their roles.
The result is a workplace that supports both employee wellbeing and organisational performance, delivering:
• Improved employee engagement and morale
• Reduced absenteeism and workplace fatigue
• Healthier, more resilient teams
• Greater focus, productivity, and workplace performance
• A stronger culture of health and wellbeing across the organisation

Urban Ergonomics just hosted an online webinar for our team and it was FANTASTIC! This isnt your run of the mill PowerPoint presentation. Chris was very interactive and knowledgeable. We were able to watch live demos of proper ergonomics set ups, as well as a range of stretches and strengthening exercises. Can recommend for any workplace who thinks their staff need a refresher/some help!
