Happy Multicultural Mate Program

Strengthening Workplace Recovery Through Cultural Inclusion

Workplace rehabilitation is not one-size-fits-all — especially in multicultural Australia.

At CALDIA Rehabilitation, we recognise that cultural barriers can impact recovery, return to work, and long-term employment outcomes.

Our Happy Multicultural Mate Program bridges the gap by supporting CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) employees throughout their recovery journey, while helping employers create safer, more inclusive workplaces.

Our Program Helps You

  • Create Culturally Inclusive Return-to-Work Environments

    Build workplaces that recognise and respect cultural diversity in recovery and rehabilitation.

  • Retain and Support Injured CALD Employees

    Provide tailored rehabilitation, workplace adjustments, and culturally appropriate communication during return to work.

  • Prevent Workplace Injuries Through Cultural Understanding

    Identify cultural factors that may impact injury risks, early intervention, and recovery timeframes.

  • Improve Return-to-Work Communication Across Cultures

    Facilitate better engagement between employers, injured workers, healthcare providers, and insurers.

  • Promote Wellbeing and Psychological Safety

    Support the emotional, psychological, and physical recovery of multicultural employees, helping sustain durable return-to-work outcomes.
