Our Story

Founded in Australia in 2000, Bodycare was born from a physiotherapist's commitment to transform occupational health. Our founder and CEO of the Occ Health Group, Dean Mohr, saw first-hand the widespread impact of workplace injuries—painful aftermaths physically, mentally and financially for workers as well as the serious ripple effect injuries had on businesses. Dean realised the need for a shift in focus from treating injuries to preventing injuries and developed an innovative approach: onsite physiotherapy in workplaces.


With onsite physiotherapy, Bodycare revolutionised occupational health by catching and treating potential injuries early, significantly improving the lives of workers while helping businesses avoid costly downtime. More than 20 years on, we've evolved beyond the initial concept, expanding our suite of services to deliver a holistic preventative care solution that reduces injury-associated costs and improves productivity.


Today, Bodycare is a market leader in workplace injury prevention, known for our proactive approach and commitment to maintaining a safe, healthy work environment. At Bodycare, we not only treat injuries - we aim to prevent them. Our mission is to create safer, healthier, more productive workplaces, one intervention at a time.

Our approach

Our approach at Bodycare goes beyond conventional occupational health services. We emphasise proactive and preventative care because we understand that the key to a healthier, more productive workplace lies not just in addressing problems, but in preventing them.

Our spectrum of services covers everything from workplace safety and compliance to mental health support and wellness promotion programs, all designed to build a resilient and thriving workforce.

Our mission

For us, occupational health is our passion as well as our profession. Our mission is to create safer, healthier and happier workplaces throughout New Zealand. We believe achieving our mission will enable kiwi businesses and their workers to thrive together.

“I want all workers in New Zealand to have access to our service because I know it works and will help them live a better life.”
