Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can support movement, strength, balance, pain management and participation in everyday activities. A physiotherapist may work with a person at home, in a clinic, in the community or by telehealth, depending on needs and service availability.
Before contacting a provider
Write down the goal, location, preferred days and times, funding information and any accessibility or communication needs. A clear request saves time and helps providers respond honestly about capacity.
Questions to ask
Ask about relevant experience, appointment location, expected wait time, whether a referral is needed, fees, travel charges, exercise plans and how the provider will communicate with your wider support team.
Make an informed decision
Compare more than one option if you can. Confirm costs, service agreements and what will happen if support needs change. Care4AU does not choose a provider for you; it helps you begin the search with clear information.
