This process (as per Phil Rileys grand plan to achieve financial gain for the Corporation) is specifically geared and highly incentivised towards removing you from claim. That is, the rehabilitation providers to ACC are paids bonuses of $1,145 upon you being exited (working 30+ hours/week)
Please ensure you download document #5, as per post 7 above, which spells this out clearly.
Note within this draft document the requirement of ACC that these Vocation Rehabilitation providers have direct contact with not only your GP, and specialists, but also your employer and in so doing invade your right to privacy.
Maybe someone might like to request the final form of the document to see if this still holds true.
I wouldn't might betting that the bonuses of $1,145 are very similar to those paid to ACC employees to remove claimanats (AKA acturial gain) judging by the illegal activity I've experienced by ACC case managers to achieve this objective.
Note that the bonuses of $1,145 are paid on the following basis:

5.10. Where permanent sustainable full-time employment results as a direct and immediate result of the Work Readiness Service an incentive payment will be payable as long as full independence from ACC has been established. Sustainable employment is measured as 14 weeks continuous employment post commencement of the employment.
5.11. Job Brokerage Service and Job Search Service. The Job Brokerage Service is available as either a full Job Brokerage Service or a Job Search Service. The expected outcome from the Job Brokerage Service is sustainable full-time employment measured as 14 weeks continuous employment post commencement of employment. Where sustainable employment is achieved, an incentive payment will be payable.

Therefore bonuses are paid on there being 14 weeks of continous employment post commencement of the employment. But I don't think there is any stipulating that this continuous employment for 14 weeks is for 30+ hours per week. i.e., at a level of independence. So it will be interesting to know.
Clearly the way it is geared the ACC contractor is highly incentivised to force the person to work beyond their capability simply to reach 30 hours per week, even if that is not safe or healthy, purely so that the ACC contractor gets their bonus, at the expense and risk to the claimants health.
What I'd like to know is just 1 week of 30 hours considered sustainable by ACC? Would this qualify for the bonus? Or is 18 weeks at 30 hours considered sustainable?
could someone please confirm that any 'draft; copy of this guideline is officially used 'in practice' and upto date
