Workplace Ergonomic Assessment in Sydney
Office ergonomic assessment, home office ergonomic evaluation, and vehicle workstation assessments across Sydney to reduce posture-related injuries, headaches, and musculoskeletal issues.
Why Workplace Ergonomic Assessments Matter
Poor workstation setup is one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries in office-based and vehicle-dependent roles. A thorough workstation assessment can identify issues such as neck pain, lower back discomfort, headaches, and eyestrain — common complaints that can be traced directly to incorrect chair height, monitor placement, desk configuration, or vehicle cabin setup. These issues lead to increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, and costly workers' compensation claims.
At Wellworx Workplace Solutions, our ergonomic assessments are conducted by an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist who understands the biomechanics behind workplace posture. We assess each worker's individual setup — taking into account their physical dimensions, existing injuries or discomfort, and the specific tasks they perform — then provide practical, actionable recommendations that can be implemented immediately.
Our service covers both traditional office environments and vehicle cabins for workers who spend extended periods driving. Each assessment includes a detailed report with photographic documentation and specific equipment recommendations where required, giving your organisation a clear record for WHS compliance purposes.

Industries We Serve
How It Works
You identify workers who need assessment
This may be workers reporting discomfort, new starters setting up their workstation, or a proactive roll-out across a team or department. Let us know the number of assessments and whether they are office-based, vehicle-based, or a combination of both.
We assess each worker at their workstation
Our AHPRA-registered physiotherapist attends your workplace and assesses each worker at their actual desk, workstation, or vehicle. We evaluate chair height, monitor positioning, keyboard and mouse placement, lighting, and the worker's posture during their normal tasks. Each assessment takes approximately 20-30 minutes per person.
Immediate adjustments and recommendations
We make hands-on adjustments during the assessment wherever possible - repositioning monitors, adjusting chair settings, and optimising desk layout. Where additional equipment is needed, we provide specific product recommendations with clear justification for your procurement team.
Written report with photographic documentation
You receive a detailed report for each worker assessed, including findings, adjustments made, equipment recommendations, and photographic documentation. This report serves as evidence of your organisation's compliance with WHS obligations around workstation setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ergonomic assessment involve?
An ergonomic assessment involves a physiotherapist evaluating your workstation setup, posture, and work habits at your actual desk or vehicle. We assess chair height, monitor distance and height, keyboard and mouse positioning, lighting conditions, and how your body interacts with your equipment during normal tasks. Adjustments are made on the spot where possible.
How long does an ergonomic assessment take?
Each individual assessment typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the workstation and whether the worker has existing discomfort that needs to be addressed. For larger roll-outs across a team or office, we can assess multiple workers in a single visit to minimise disruption.
Who needs an ergonomic assessment?
Any worker who spends extended periods at a desk, computer workstation, or in a vehicle may benefit from an ergonomic assessment. They are particularly recommended for workers reporting neck, back, or shoulder discomfort, new starters setting up a workstation for the first time, workers returning from a musculoskeletal injury, and teams moving to new office spaces.
What happens after an ergonomic assessment?
After the assessment, you receive a written report with findings and recommendations for each worker. Many adjustments - such as chair height, monitor position, and desk layout - are implemented during the visit. Where additional equipment is recommended, the report provides specific product details and justification to support your procurement process. Follow-up reviews can be arranged if needed.
