Hannah Burcher

Injury Management Specialist
Occupational Therapist

I’m a compassionate and experienced Occupational Therapist with over 10 years of dedicated case management and vocational rehabilitation experience. With a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy and a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients across a variety of compensation schemes, including the Australian Defence Force (ADF), Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), Comcare, WorkCover WA, life insurance, and income protection.

Throughout my career, I’ve remained focused on understanding each person’s story and tailoring support to meet their individual needs. From conducting comprehensive initial assessments to creating practical, goal-driven rehabilitation plans, I work closely with clients to promote independence, recovery, and well-being. I’ve also provided a wide range of assessments—ergonomic, workplace, home, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL)—ensuring that every recommendation is sustainable and aligned with the client’s lifestyle.

I’m especially passionate about working with first responders and defence personnel. My experience with the ADF, DVA, WA Police Force, Australian Federal Police, and St John Ambulance has given me valuable insight into the pressures and unique challenges faced by these professionals. I take pride in building genuine rapport, identifying meaningful goals, and connecting clients with experienced, best-fit providers, particularly in complex or high-risk cases.

Many of the clients I’ve supported have faced significant hurdles, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship breakdowns, housing instability, and social withdrawal. I take a holistic and proactive approach, collaborating with GPs, psychologists, psychiatrists, and other treating teams. Where needed, I’ve supported transitions into inpatient care and higher-level interventions—always with a focus on safety, dignity, and continuity of care.

I truly believe in the power of early support and meaningful connection. My goal is to walk alongside each client, helping them navigate challenges and rebuild their lives with confidence, purpose, and hope.
