Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1. A letter will be sent to the participant’s nominated GP/specialist informing them of their study participation.
2. RESET: The RESET program links participants with a RESET Coordinator who will support their return to work goals for up to six months post stroke. The program is delivered remotely which means it can be offered to people who might not be able to attend face-to-face meetings due to distance, time or convenience. The RESET Coordinator will meet with the person via telephone or teleconference to determine a return to work plan, and then continue to provide follow up support and ensure referrals and linkage with appropriate services, organisations and stakeholders (covering all aspects including health, financial, employment and social supports).
The RESET intervention will be delivered for up to 6 months post stroke. There is no limit to number of or duration of sessions delivered in that time frame as long as return to work/staying at work remains the central goal. All interactions with the client and other stakeholders will be documented in the RESET Service Record, which will be audited at the end of the study. For this study the intervention will be delivered by either university researchers or by the existing Stroke Association of Victoria Stay at Work Initiative Coordinator.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
No
No/undecided IPD sharing reason/comment
Given the feasibility nature of the study no formal data sharing plan has been made (as assessments may change as a result of feedback from participants or researchers), however if the team are approached for data sharing in the period before the raw data is destroyed, Barwon Health HREC will be consulted.
