A limb to stand on? A scoping review of employability assessment in Australian total and permanent disability insurance claims.

CONCLUSIONS: Foundational research into the effectiveness of employability assessment and the experience of claimants is warranted. Future research into methodology, assessor credentials, and legal aspects will broaden understanding of this relatively new topic. Implications for rehabilitation Employability assessment is an emergent and hitherto unexamined model that operates in the multi-billion-dollar Australian total and permanent disability insurance market. Total and permanent disability insurance policies and their legal interpretation are ever-changing and substantially inform employability assessment practice. Employability assessment lacks methodology and variables that are common elements in proven forensic vocational assessment models in the United States. Training and credentialing of rehabilitation professionals who conduct employability assessments are required to withstand legal scrutiny and meet international forensic standards.
