Fiona Fonti — The Rehabilitation Specialists
Telstra Australian Capital Territory Entrepreneur Award Finalist

When individuals are away from work due to injury or ill-health, this can be costly for businesses and result in reduced confidence for individuals. Fiona Fonti saw a gap in the market for specialist services to assist individuals and workplaces, and sought to address the issue by founding The Rehabilitation Specialists.

The Rehabilitation Specialists offers a range of injury management services, workplace solutions, specialist assessment, intervention and training services that all assist in getting individuals healthy and back to work.

As the managing director, Fiona has built the company from the ground up with help from her team of experienced consultants who deliver high-quality, outcome-driven and tailored services to meet the complex and varied needs of clients.

Since inception in 2012, Fiona has grown the team from three to 23 and has led the business to such achievement that it was recognised as a finalist in the 2015 and 2016 Telstra Business Awards, winning the 2016 Telstra Australian Capital Territory Small Business Award.

Workplace rehabilitation is a challenging industry and needs professionals who can last the distance, be innovative and drive positive change in the sector, which is what I aim to do.
