About Us

How One Vision Sparked a Nationwide Commitment to Personalised Rehabilitation

ELEV8 Consulting was founded with a clear mission—to change the way rehabilitation is delivered across Australia. What began as a small team of passionate professionals has grown into a trusted partner for organisations, agencies, and individuals navigating complex health challenges.



Our founder saw a gap in the industry: too often, rehab was treated as a process, not a person-centered journey. With that insight, ELEV8 was created to offer a more personalised, holistic approach—one that sees people, not just cases.

Over the years, we’ve helped countless Australians find their way back to work, health, and confidence—and we’re just getting started.

Where We Work

ELEV8 Consulting proudly delivers services across Australia, combining local reach with national capability.

We offer in-person services in key regions across QLD, NSW, VIC, WA, SA, TAS, and the ACT. Our footprint includes:

 

  • Queensland: Townsville, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast
  • New South Wales: Sydney, Newcastle, Orange, South Coast, Mid-North Coast
  • Victoria: Melbourne, Frankston, Ballarat
  • Western Australia: Perth
  • South Australia: Adelaide
  • Tasmania: Hobart
  • Australian Capital Territory: Canberra

For clients outside of these areas or preferring remote support, we also offer telehealth and virtual delivery. This ensures continuity of care no matter where you are, while maintaining the quality, flexibility, and responsiveness our services are known for.

Whether onsite or online, our team is here to support your recovery, wellness, and vocational goals—wherever you’re located.

Why We Exist

At ELEV8 Consulting, we exist to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and workplaces by providing tailored, person-centred support that empowers people to overcome adversity and realise their full potential. Our mission is grounded in the belief that every individual—regardless of injury, diagnosis, or life stage—deserves access to high-quality, compassionate care that supports both personal wellbeing and professional growth.

 

We understand that recovery isn’t linear, and that the journey to confidence, connection, and capacity looks different for everyone. That’s why our services are designed to be flexible, inclusive, and evidence-based—whether it’s helping someone return to work after injury, navigate complex health challenges, or regain a sense of identity and purpose.

 

Through our health coaching, workplace rehabilitation, and strategic consultancy services, we offer more than just programs—we offer pathways to progress. Our team is committed to walking alongside each client, fostering resilience, rebuilding self-belief, and helping them take empowered steps forward. At our core, we exist to elevate people and possibilities.

Where We're Headed

ELEV8 Consulting is building the future of workplace rehabilitation and psychological health by placing people at the heart of every solution. We are driven by a vision of inclusive, thriving workplaces where individuals feel valued, supported, and able to contribute at their best. As we continue to grow, we’re focused on pioneering approaches that combine clinical expertise, innovation, and practical strategies tailored to real-world challenges.

 

Our future is grounded in partnership—working closely with public and private sector clients to co-design services that are responsive to shifting needs. Whether it’s addressing neurodiversity in the workforce, designing early intervention programs that prevent burnout, or embedding psychological safety into return-to-work strategies, we are committed to leading with insight and integrity.

 

We aim to raise the standard of care across the rehabilitation sector by delivering measurable outcomes, fostering long-term change, and building capacity within the systems we work in. By investing in people—clients, teams, and employers—we’re not just improving individual journeys; we’re reshaping how recovery and workplace wellbeing are understood and supported across Australia.

ELEV8 Consulting collects, uses, and discloses personal information only for purposes that are relevant to our services, and that have been consented to by the individuals concerned. We obtain consent through a detailed consent form that outlines the purposes for which personal information will be collected, used, and disclosed, and we review this consent annually to ensure that it remains valid and up-to-date.


ELEV8 Consulting limits the collection of personal information to what is necessary for the intended purpose, and ensures that any personal information that we collect is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. We use and disclose personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, unless we obtain consent or are required by law to do so.

Upon withdrawal of consent, ELEV8 Consulting will cease any further use or disclosure of the individual’s personal information unless required by law.

Information Storage and Security

ELEV8 Consulting stores personal information in a secure manner to prevent unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We use a case management system that is designed to ensure the security of personal information. Only appropriate people have access to the case and its details, and all activity and communication related to the case are completed through the system to minimise the risk of privacy breaches.


Any personal information that we collect as part of assessments or attendance at appointments is transferred onto the case management system in electronic form, and hard copies are then destroyed to further minimize the risk of unauthorised access.
ELEV8 Consulting uses appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We regularly review and update our security measures to ensure that they remain effective and up-to-date.
