Rehabilitation in the Home

We understand that some patients find it more convenient to receive rehabilitation services in the comfort of their home. This is why we offer patients the opportunity to receive first-class rehabilitation care in the home.

Patients who are eligible for treatment at home can access it as a stand-alone service, or as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Some of the rehabilitation services we commonly offer in the home setting include:

  • reconditioning programs to help patients with general weakness
  • therapies for people recovering from stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
  • rehabilitation for patients who have had joint replacements, spinal surgery or fractures
  • programs to help people with reduced balance or who have had a fall

If you are accessing your therapy in the home as part of a rehabilitation program, a referral from your general practitioner is required. For patients seeking our services for other reasons, a referral may not be necessary. Please contact our Access Unit on (03) 9508 1700 for help.
