Proactive
Proactive was founded in 1999 with a view to provide end to end, integrated rehabilitation services. Employing more than 200 clinical staff, and a network of branches throughout the New Zealand, Proactive provides a range of rehabilitation, health and wellbeing services to DHB’s, ACC, private insurers, corporate organisations and individuals. We base our service delivery around three principles: - Wellbeing: We adopt a “wellbeing” approach to service delivery, with the view that optimising client engagement and promoting an attitude of wellness will promote independence. - The Four Corners Approach: Health conditions and injuries are all complex in nature. our approach to assessment, care planning and service delivery employs tools and processes that employ a biopsychosocial and multifactorial approach to service delivery. - Transformational Rehabilitation: Our goal is to not only engage clients in a service that provides for “rehabilitation” or “improved health outcomes”, but to engage clients in an experience that challenges any beliefs and behaviours that impact negatively on their health and wellbeing. Throughout our 20 year history, Proactive’s health and rehabilitation services have become known as being both bespoke and holistic, while providing the expertise that our clients need. Team members within our organisation pride themselves on proactivity in addressing client’s needs, striving for a full understanding of a client’s situation, and taking a natural approach when working with our clients.
