- Deliver workplace rehabilitation services that help individuals engage in meaningful occupations through a client‑centered approach, promoting optimal health and well‑being.

Team Member Testimonial, (Occupational Therapist, April): “Working with KINNECT in Nundah has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The team is not only supportive but also fosters an environment of continuous learning. As an Occupational Therapist, I’ve expanded my knowledge of physical conditions and their impact on the body, and I’m currently mastering techniques like using a goniometer to measure body angles. I particularly enjoy the variety that comes with workplace rehab—whether it’s conducting ADL assessments, MBI evaluations, ergonomic assessments, or worksite visits, each has helped me significantly refine and broaden my skill set.”
