What it's suitable for

  • Flexible – we tailor treatment, rehab, pain management and ongoing care plans to the individuals.
  • Responsive – constant contact with you, the injured person and their family lets us respond quickly and make effective decisions to changes in their condition.

Catastrophic Case Management Services

Acquired Brain Injury Case Management

Following an Acquired Brain Injury, Injured Parties not only have to adjust to physical changes, but also need to adapt to their emotional and behavioural changes.

This may seem like an overwhelming process, but with Corporé’s specialist case management support, individuals with brain injuries will be supported to overcome these challenges and progress their rehabilitation, one step at a time.

Our brain injury specialist Case Managers have the expertise and experience to help injured parties navigate these potentially overwhelming changes, and help them adjust to and accept characteristic changes to build the confidence to achieve optimum outcomes in their rehabilitation.

Spinal Injury Case Management

Spinal injury rehabilitation case management encompasses so much more than the treatment and rehabilitation of physical injuries. Mental recovery also plays a huge part in reaching the best possible outcome.

Our specialist Case Managers understand that a relationship must be developed with the injured party to rebuild their confidence, empower them to adjust to physical changes and provide the appropriate adaptations to achieve optimum independence.

Amputation Case Management

Rehabilitation following amputation can be a complex process. It requires the support of an expert with specialist experience in amputations to navigate the process to ensure the best possible outcomes can be achieved for both the Injured Party and the case.

But we also understand that amputation rehabilitation is a manageable, achievable process that, with the right support, can help individuals gain independence once again.
