Online Remote Workstation Ergonomics
For Home, Hybrid & Office-Based Teams
Our Online Remote Workstation Ergonomic Assessments provide practical, evidence-based ergonomic support for workers—no matter where they’re set up. Delivered entirely online, this service allows organisations to meet their WHS obligations while supporting staff working from home, in the office, or across multiple locations.
Each assessment is conducted one-on-one via secure video consultation by a qualified allied health professional (Physiotherapist, Osteopath, Exercise Physiologist or Occupational Therapist). We assess the individual’s workstation setup, posture, equipment, workload and movement habits, then provide real-time adjustments, education and tailored recommendations to reduce injury risk and improve comfort and productivity.
Participants receive a written ergonomic report outlining identified risks, recommended changes and follow-up actions. Where required, higher-risk workers can be flagged for further assessment or ongoing support.
This service is ideal for organisations with remote teams, hybrid work models, interstate staff or limited onsite access, offering a cost-effective and scalable ergonomic solution without compromising quality or clinical oversight.

Home Office Workstaton Assessment
Desk Ergonomic Assessment
It is important to assess the desk that a worker is using to work from. The width, depth and height of the desk are important factors, as well as the space and access underneath the desk to achieve an ergonomic desk setup at home
Stand up sit down / adjustable desk
In recent years we have seen a flood of sit and stand desks in the market. It is important to implement any sit and stand desk in consultation with the individual using the desk as sit and stand desks ARE NOT for everyone.
Chair Ergonomic Assessment
Fitting the chair to the worker is very important with an ergonomic assessment. The size of the base and backrest, as well as the adjustable features should all be considered for a ergonomic chair set up at home.
Ergonomic Foot Rest
Workers whose feet do not reach the floor once chair height is adjusted to the desk should use an ergonomic footrest to achieve an ergonomic setup at home. It is important to select an appropriate footrest for the worker and their needs as not all footrests are the same.
Computer Ergonomic Assessment
The type of computer a worker is using should be assessed. Is the worker using a desktop, or a laptop or a tablet as their computer? Ideally all options should be run through a large monitor or monitors to improve neck and eye ergonomics for an optimal home office ergonomic set up.
Multiple Screens
Most workers these days prefer to use multiple screens. It is important that the screens are set up ergonomically to suit each individual. The distance and height are important factors to consider when organising a ergonomic computer set up at home. If the screens are too close or too far may cause neck and eye strain.
Ergonomic Keyboards
Ergonomic keyboards vary in design and price. The majority of workers do not require an ergonomic keyboard and a standard keyboard will be suitable for a ergonomic workstation set up at home. At times workers with ongoing wrist, thumb or hand concerns may benefit from an ergonomic keyboard. Assessing the work tasks each individual completes is important before implementing an ergonomic keyboard.
Mouse / Trackpad
A vertical mouse or ergonomic mouse is a commonly implemented piece of ergonomic equipment. As with a keyboard most workers do not require a vertical mouse for a ergonomic setup at home. A vertical mouse places the forearm, wrist and hand into a more neutral position and can be helpful for alleviating certain conditions.
Regular Breaks
Regular breaks from both sitting and standing are very important to factor into the work day. One risk factor for work related musculoskeletal pain are static work postures. Having regular ‘movement’ breaks every 30-60mins of work helps to avoid static work postures and contributes to a ergonomic home office setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all ergonomic chairs the same?
No, the size of the base and backrest, as well as the adjustable features should all be considered with selecting an ergonomic chair. If you choose the wrong chair size it will not provide the recommended support.
Are all ergonomic footrests the same?
No, there are a wide range of ergonomic footrests. Our preferred footrest type is one which can be adjusted in height. This then can be adjusted to the needs of each individual. If the footrest is too high or too low it will affect foot and leg support while working.
How often should I have a break from my desk?
As a general recommendation we recommend breaking from your desk every 30-60mins of work. This may be different for some individuals depending on your work tasks as some work tasks force breaks away from the desk. However, if your work tasks are largely static, stand and move every 30-60mins of work for 1-2mins.
