The Gold Standard in Workplace Ergonomics
Ergonomic Office Fitout
Our ergonomic office fit-out consultancy provides organisations and individuals with a gold-standard approach to designing healthier, more comfortable, and more productive workspaces. Delivered by experienced ergonomic consultants, and supported by clinical physiotherapy expertise, our service focuses on creating work environments that support the way people actually work while protecting long-term musculoskeletal health.
We assess and optimise workspaces by applying evidence-based ergonomic principles to furniture, equipment, and overall layout. This includes desk and chair configuration, monitor positioning, equipment placement, and workstation setup to ensure each workspace supports natural posture, reduces unnecessary strain, and promotes comfort throughout the working day.
A key strength of our service is our ability to tailor solutions to the individual. Every person interacts with their workspace differently, and our consultants carefully consider body mechanics, task demands, and daily work habits to ensure each workstation is optimised for the person using it. This personalised approach helps employees work more comfortably and efficiently while reducing the risk of workplace-related injuries.
Our service can be delivered for individual employees requiring workstation optimisation, or as part of a broader workplace initiative for organisations looking to improve ergonomics across an entire team or office. We work closely with HR teams, managers, and employees to ensure ergonomic improvements are practical, scalable, and aligned with workplace health and productivity goals.
By combining ergonomic consulting expertise with clinical physiotherapy insight, we help organisations create workspaces that not only look professional but function as high-performing environments designed around employee wellbeing. The result is improved comfort, reduced injury risk, greater focus, and stronger workplace productivity— supporting both individual performance and organisational success.

Whats Included in our Assessments
STEP 1
Workplace Consultation and Discovery
We begin with a consultation to understand your workplace, workforce, and operational needs. Whether optimising a single workstation or planning a full office fit-out, this stage helps identify key ergonomic priorities and ensures the workspace design supports employee wellbeing and organisational productivity.
STEP 2
Ergonomic Assessment and Workspace Analysis
Our ergonomic consultants review the existing workspace, including furniture, equipment, workstation setup, and office layout. Supported by clinical physiotherapy expertise, we assess how employees interact with their environment and identify ergonomic risks that may contribute to discomfort or injury.
STEP 3
Tailored Ergonomic Design Strategy
Based on our findings, we develop a tailored ergonomic strategy aligned with both individual needs and organisational goals. This includes recommendations for workstation configuration, ergonomic furniture, equipment selection, and layout improvements to support posture and efficient workflow.
STEP 4
Workspace Implementation and Optimisation
Our consultants assist with implementing ergonomic adjustments, ensuring workstations are correctly configured for each individual user. From desk and chair positioning to monitor height and equipment placement, each workspace is optimised to support comfort, productivity, and reduced physical strain.
STEP 5
Workplace Integration and Measurable Outcomes
Once the ergonomic fit-out is complete, we ensure employees understand how to use their optimised workspaces effectively to maintain healthy posture and work habits. Our consultants provide practical guidance so staff can apply ergonomic principles throughout their daily work.
The result is a workplace designed to deliver:
• Improved employee comfort and reduced physical strain during desk-based work
• Lower risk of musculoskeletal injuries through evidence-based ergonomic design
• Workspaces tailored to individual employees and their specific work demands
• Greater focus, efficiency, and workplace productivity
• Stronger workplace health and safety outcomes for organisations and HR teams
By combining ergonomic consulting expertise with clinical physiotherapy insight, we create workplaces that actively support employee wellbeing, performance, and long-term organisational success.
Physiotherapist-Led Gold Standard Assessment
Workstation Ergonomic Assessments Across Australia
At Urban Ergonomics, our ergonomic workstation assessments are delivered in person by registered musculoskeletal physiotherapists with advanced training in ergonomics, workplace design and injury prevention.
Because we diagnose and treat posture-related headaches, neck pain, RSI and shoulder injuries every day at Urban Physiotherapy, our musculoskeletal injury clinic, we understand exactly how poor workstation setup and work habits evolve into clinical injuries.
Unlike generic ergonomic assessors, our assessments represent the Gold Standard of Ergonomic Practice — delivered by clinical physiotherapists at the forefront of musculoskeletal design, treatment and injury prevention. Every assessment is clinically driven, practical and immediately actionable, combining biomechanical expertise with real-world workstation optimisation.
Whats Included in our Assessments
1. In-person workstation assessment
Conducted on-site in the workplace, in-office, or at home, assessing how the individual interacts with their workstation in real working conditions.
2. Clinical assessment by musculoskeletal physiotherapists
Assessments are performed by registered physiotherapists with specialist expertise in biomechanics, injury mechanisms and musculoskeletal load — not checklist-based ergonomic consultants.
3. Immediate workstation modifications with real-time education
Practical adjustments are made on the spot. Every change is explained in real time, including why it’s required, how it reduces injury risk, and how to maintain it long-term. Questions are encouraged throughout.
4. Individualised exercises and preventative strategies
Where appropriate, targeted exercises, stretches and preventative strategies are prescribed by the physiotherapist to address identified risks and reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence
5. Formalised Ergonomic reporting and Equipment recommendations
-
Before and after photos of the workstation
-
Assessment of all relevant components, including screen(s), keyboard, mouse, chair, desk, footrests, phone and headset equipment, webcams and any other workstation-specific items
-
A clear summary of issues identified
-
Changes implemented during the assessment
-
Recommended actions and equipment, where required
-
All recommended ergonomic equipment can be sourced directly through Urban Ergonomics, providing organisations with a single, end-to-end solution for workstation safety, consistency and WHS compliance.
