Residential Aged Care Physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy care delivered directly to residents at their aged care facility.

Our physiotherapists provide on-site care to aged care residents — supporting mobility, managing pain, and reducing fall risk with treatment tailored to each resident's needs and capacity.

What Is Residential Aged Care Physiotherapy?

Our physiotherapists visit residents directly at their aged care facility — bringing tailored assessment and treatment to residents who are unable to travel to a clinic. It's care designed around the realities of residential aged care: consistency, communication with facility staff, and treatment that fits each resident's needs and goals.

We work alongside facility staff, families, and other allied health providers to support each resident's mobility, safety, and quality of life.

Residential Aged Care Physiotherapy: Common Questions

Do you visit aged care facilities directly?

Yes — this service is delivered on-site at the resident's aged care facility rather than at our Capalaba clinic.

Is this service covered by aged care funding?

Physiotherapy is often included as part of a resident's care package — speak with your facility or case manager to confirm your specific funding arrangement.

Can family members be involved in treatment planning?

Yes, with the resident's consent we're happy to keep family members informed and involved in care decisions.

How often will a resident be seen?

Session frequency depends on individual needs and goals, and is reviewed regularly to ensure it stays appropriate.
