About David Roberts

I have a lifetime of experience and work in my chosen area of work injuries. As a clinical physiotherapist most of this has been with dealing with, and treating, the effects of work injuries. My professional focus at this time of my life is to bring the prevention of work injuries to the forefront of all businesses and all workers. A company or business's best asset is its workforce. Managing the human risk of this workforce requires a totally new mindset and the development of new tools for the owners and managers of businesses to provide them with the confidence and knowledge to improve the efficiency and safety of their workforce.Proactive management of human risk is the key to reducing work injuries.At present I have an ideal position which allows me to live on a semi tropical island and work part time from home most of the time. I develop and maintain the standards of all the functional testing processes for Happy health based in Newcastle. Happy Health is expanding and now have offices in Adelaide, Sydney as well as Singleton and Cesnock in NSW but are expanding nationally.Happy Health is a new company that has the goal of assisting companies to minimise and manage the risks of the workforce by assessing and monitoring the health of the workers and working with the company to put in strategies to manage and coach the workers with any identified problems to maximise their working potential. My role is to ensure that the assessments are well constructed to be valid and reliable and to ensure all the consultants are well trained to perform and report on these assessments.My ongoing company, WorkMoves in conjunction Skillwise (of which WorkMoves has had a long and ongoing relationship) have collaborated to create several important patented processes that will provide all companies with a simple self-controlled system to understand, track and control the main elements of elusive human risks that can plague many company's bottom line. The project is at the point of seeking several companies that would like to showcase this self managed proactive system. This would provide a great opportunity to have the system totally customised to your business's needs. This could involve the whole business or a small section or project within the business and does not involve buying any equipment or software. Please contact me for further information about managing or preventing work injuries and the process of developing a healthy and productive workforce.

    Brisbane, Australia
    Working with the Physiotherapy students at Uni of Qld in the field of developing higher skills in functional testing and development especially in the field of worker injury prevention, has been one of the highlights of my career. I have met up with several students in my travels that have entered the profession with a clear vision of working in this important field... what a great job to encourage these students to investigate this important and growing area of our profession.Talking to students has helped to keep me grounded as to needs not only of physiotherapy students entering the workforce, but the needs of young workers in general as they begin their working lives. Protecting younger workers from lifelong effects of work injuries is a well worth project.
