Physiotherapy process

  • When you first call

    To book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists, please call 8382 0232 or book via our online booking system. The first stage of the process is to ensure we’re the suitable provider for you. If the participant wishes to engage Trucare physiotherapy we will organise the first appointment within 10 business days of accepting the referral.

  • Our first meeting

    The initial assessment with our physiotherapist can be done either in the comfort of your home or in our practice. You may discuss this when making an appointment. The assessment usually takes 60-90 minutes and will involve discussing your NDIS plan, short & long term goals, expectations of physiotherapy and any other relevant medical information.

    We will begin to understand what goals the participants wants to move towards, as well as the therapy utilised. We will formulate a plan for your current NDIS plan. This will involve signing a service agreement and booking regular sessions to complete your physiotherapy sessions.

  • What We’ll Do

    After the initial assessment, the following sessions involve performing the exercises and/or rehabilitation program. The Physiotherapist will provide self-directed exercises that are safe for participants to complete, either independently or with the assistance of a family member, care staff or other.

  • Ongoing support

    The Physiotherapist will visit the participant at an agreed frequency. The frequency is typically weekly or fortnightly, however, some people may be reviewed at longer intervals, depending on their condition. We provide comprehensive reports to inform your next plan of what has been achieved in the current plan, as well as what the participant is trying to achieve in their next NDIS plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most commonly, our mobile Physiotherapy service will take place at your residence. However, our Physiotherapists will be helping you perform activities in the community.

    As an example, it may be your goal to leave home, walk 800m to the bus stop, board the bus, visit the shops and return home independently. A session may actually be trialling this. This provides insight into the effectiveness of the therapy used to achieve the goal.

    Another example may be supporting a participant who wishes to access a gym, in which case, our clinicians will attend the gym with you.

  • Break Free Health therapists are members of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). This is a mandatory membership.

  • Trucare Physiotherapy prides itself on maintaining the stability of our care for the participants that we service.

    The vast majority of the time, you will be seeing the same physio. The exception to this would be times our clinicians are unwell or on leave.

  • Trucare therapists will liaise with your other health professionals in the way that you would like, that is part of our service agreement.

    In the event we are required to have consultations or phone calls with other health professionals, we can perform this at your request.
