RADAR by PACT

Recovery for complex work related injuries, Australia wide.

RADAR is a program for the work related claims that are chronic and complex. The employer or insurer refers the case in, and we make sure the injured worker and the providers already on the claim get the help they need to recover. We back the team already there with visibility, direction and, where it is needed, more support.

You can't progress what you can't measure.

What RADAR is

A program that offers tailored advice for chronic and complex claims

RADAR by PACT Health is a workers compensation program built around a simple reality: some injuries are chronic and complex, and the claims that come with them are hard. When a claim is hard, the people on it need more support, not less. RADAR makes sure the treating team and the injured person both get the care and direction they need to manage the claim effectively.

We work alongside the providers already on the claim, never in place of them. Using measurement, advice and reporting at key intervals, RADAR helps where people need it most: a clear read of where recovery is, practical guidance on the next step, and the visibility to keep a complex claim moving toward recovery, with GP sign off.

How RADAR works
An injured worker at home looking out the window, the kind of person RADAR is built to help recover
One engine, two arms

Physical and psychological

The same engine, the same tiers and the same prices across both arms. RADAR backs the treating provider, it never replaces them.

Physical arm

Physical

  • Assists the treating physiotherapist
  • Measures progress toward pre injury duties against sessions delivered, so clinicians see what works
  • Active exercise over passive treatment, the progression to Exercise Physiology that research backs
  • Cognitive Coaching clears yellow flags and rebuilds motivation, no psychology referral needed
Psychological arm

Psychological

  • Assists the treating psychologist, who leads the care and is never replaced
  • Measures recovery progress against sessions delivered, so clinicians see what works
  • The worker builds active self management
  • Unlike most psychological programs, physical exercise is central, proven to drive recovery
Which arm and tier fits?
The RADAR engine, and support that scales

What runs under every tier

A simple, objective engine sits under all three tiers. Two kinds of support, for the clinician and for the worker, scale up as the claim needs them.

FPR

Functional Progress Ratio

A single ratio showing the direction and rate of a worker's functional recovery. Descriptive, not a forecast.

CCD

Clinical Course Decision

The treating team's call on what happens next. RADAR records it, never scores it.

IPE

Informed Provider Education

Six short clinical case studies. RADAR's own competency check, never a SIRA accreditation. No pay for time.

+
ICR

Independent Clinical Review

Clinician support. A collegial case conference between the RADAR clinician and the treating provider, to review the claim and agree the plan. One at Vector, up to three at Summit.

CC

Cognitive Coaching

Worker support, physical arm. Helps with the yellow flags the measures pick up, below the psychology threshold. From Vector. Measure gated.

How a referral works

From referral to recovery

1

Refer the complex claim in

The employer or insurer refers the complex or chronic claim, usually with the injury management advisor.

2

RADAR gives the team visibility and a decision

The Functional Progress Ratio and a Clinical Course Decision show where the claim is and what happens next.

3

The claim moves to completion

The team already on the claim is backed with direction and, where needed, escalation, to a clear completion or onward plan.
