ClearView Wealth Limited has announced an expansion of its claims capabilities through the appointment of Alicia Edwards to the newly-created role of Rehabilitation Manager.

Edwards will lead the firm’s rehabilitation offering through technical advice and support for claims assessors regarding return-to-work strategies, employability, and identification and management of occupational rehabilitation cases.

Edwards’ previous roles include Senior Rehabilitation Consultant at OnePath/Zurich and several roles at Konekt, a provider of organisational health and risk management solutions.

“There is a growing recognition of the positive impact that occupational rehabilitation can have on assisting customers to return to wellness and return to work, if they are able and ready to do so,” Edwards said.

“ClearView is a dynamic organisation and I’m excited about the possibility of doing something a little bit different here to help customers manage a range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological and psychological, and get on with their lives.”

The appointment comes as ClearView’s ClearChoice product suite offers customers rehabilitation and return-to-work support, including funding any retraining, reskilling and business coaching.

“We’re always looking for ways to add value for our customers and advisers. A key area of focus has been on increasing our claims capability and enhancing our claims proposition,” Joanne Faglioni, Chief Claims Officer at ClearView, said.

“Alicia will be responsible for building a strong, holistic vocational rehab service, which spans exercise, career counselling and business coaching including executive business coaching.

“Our goal is to provide a highly valued service that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of our customers.”
