Why frequency matters
Neurological recovery depends on repeated, purposeful practice. In regional areas, weekly clinician visits are often not realistic. Our physiotherapists and OTs assess and set the program, then a local Allied Health Assistant runs the exercises and task practice each week, with the clinician reviewing progress and adjusting the plan.
Funding pathways
Depending on eligibility, therapy may be funded through an NDIS plan (plan-managed or self-managed), aged care funding for people over 65, or privately. If you were recently discharged, your hospital team may also be able to advise on short-term options.
