As we get older, maintaining strength, balance, mobility and independence becomes increasingly important. If you or a loved one are eligible for My Aged Care, you may be able to access physiotherapy services at Core Physio & Pilates using approved funding.
What is My Aged Care?
My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s gateway to aged care services. It helps older Australians access support to remain living independently and safely in their own home for as long as possible.
Depending on an individual’s assessment and needs, funding may be available for services including physiotherapy, exercise programs, falls prevention, mobility assessments, pain management, rehabilitation, and support to maintain everyday activities.
How can physiotherapy help?
Our physiotherapists work with older adults to help them remain active, confident and independent. Treatment may assist with:
- Improving strength, balance and mobility
- Reducing the risk of falls
- Recovering after illness, surgery or a hospital stay
- Managing arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions
- Improving walking and confidence with movement
- Prescribing mobility aids where appropriate
- Developing personalised exercise programs to maintain independence
- Helping people continue doing the activities they enjoy
Whether the goal is to keep gardening, play with the grandchildren, walk with greater confidence, or continue living independently at home, physiotherapy can play an important role in maintaining quality of life.
Can you receive treatment at Core Physio & Pilates?
Absolutely. If you or your loved one have My Aged Care funding managed through an approved provider, our team can liaise directly with the provider to arrange physiotherapy services with Core Physio & Pilates. We offer appointments at our clinics, as well as home visits and retirement village visits for those who find it difficult to travel.
Our administration team has extensive experience working with My Aged Care providers and will coordinate the necessary arrangements, making the process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Not sure where to start?
If you, a parent, partner, family member or someone you care for already receives My Aged Care services, or if you think they may be eligible we’d love to help.
