Community Therapy is the leading community allied health provider across the Hunter New England and Central Coast Health Districts of NSW with a team of almost 130 local Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Dietitians, Speech Pathologists, Exercise Physiologists, Massage Therapists and Therapy Assistants delivering in-home services.
They specialise in the care of older adults and people living with disabilities, have recently launched a paediatrics division, and are certified by SAI Global against the NDIS practice standards and partner with approved aged care providers to ensure compliance with the aged care quality standards.
The Community Therapy team visits more than 1,000 clients each week and recently passed the milestone of receiving more than 10,000 referrals for our services in a 2 year period. In 2021 they launched an online Manual Handling Training Course and they have now had over 20,000 healthcare workers complete the course on their website.
In 2022, Community Therapy co-founded OT Sketch (otsketch.com) with local web developers. This product is now live with approximately 100 early adopters using the software platform to create better, more accessible homes for older adults and people living with disability. They’re currently in discussions with Universities across Australia to provide free access to OT students to better their skills around designing home modifications.
The Community Therapy story is just beginning, but in 7 short years since it was founded they have become an integral part of the healthcare community for the Hunter region with plans to expand their presence both nationally and internationally through online training and medtech innovation.
