How can physiotherapy support older adults?
Depending on assessment, a physiotherapist may address mobility, strength, balance, transfers, walking confidence, pain or recovery after illness or surgery. Treatment goals should be practical and reviewed over time.
Individualised plans
A plan may include progressive exercise, balance practice, walking or transfer strategies, equipment advice and education for clients or carers. Recommendations are based on each person’s function, risks and priorities.
Clinic or home-based care
The existing clinic website has listed aged-care services and home visits. Availability, travel radius and funding arrangements should be confirmed with the clinic before booking.

Can services be funded through a care program?
Funding eligibility depends on the specific program, referral and provider arrangements. Contact the clinic and funding coordinator to confirm current requirements.
