Abstract

This article begins by reviewing some findings contained in the recent report: Gender, Workplace Injury and Return to Work (2005), before elaborating a relational perspective on gender and its importance to rehabilitation counselling. The article presents data about gender and injury in and out of workplaces, with a special interest in gendered data. Data is also presented about gender of rehabilitation counsellors, before reflecting on the complexity associated with gendered professionals and injured older men. The article draws on Australian data sets, and takes a critical sociological approach.
