Dawn is the heart and soul of IMR. She began her career as an Occupational Therapist in New Zealand back in 1989.

Since then, she worked for several years in England doing a variety of physical, drug and alcohol, and psychiatric rehabilitation projects that also included extensive experience with spinal and musculoskeletal injuries.

In 1994, Dawn arrived in Sydney and found a strong demand for her expertise. Under the NSW WorkCover and ComCare schemes, Dawn was a busy consultant and performed occupational therapy assessments and rehabilitation for WorkCover and CTP claimants and personal injury solicitors throughout NSW.

It didn’t take long before Dawn saw the opportunity to launch her own business. In fact by 1995 she was not only heading up that business, she specialised in medico-legal assessments and workplace ergonomic assessments.

And the training hasn’t stopped since. Dawn has completed the Graduate Diploma in Safety Science (Ergonomics), and is now studying for her Masters in Applied Science (Occupational Health & Safety) at the University of NSW.


You’ll find that Dawn’s commitment to training doesn’t end with her. She takes pride in educating the entire IMR Team through continuous training programmes.


That’s why Dawn is so confident that her high personal standards are maintained and passed down through the IMR team.


With these credentials, it’s certainly no surprise that Dawn has been selected as one of four assessors on the Occupational Therapy Panel for the newly formed Disputes Resolution Service that will be part of the Medical Assessment Service being organised by the MAA.


At IMR we’re also very proud of the fact that Dawn is well known and respected as an industry expert witness in cases that go to trial. And those who know Dawn personally also know that her passion, her ethics, and commitment to her clients are second to none.
