Can a Home Care Package fund physiotherapy?
Yes. Physiotherapy is an allied health service that can be funded through a Home Care Package (Levels 1 to 4) when it supports the goals in your care plan — such as improving mobility, building strength, managing pain or reducing falls risk.
Because physiotherapy so directly supports the ability to keep living independently at home, it is one of the most valuable services a package can fund.
How it works
Your Home Care Package is managed by an approved provider who works with you to decide how your funds are used. If you would like physiotherapy included, you can discuss it with your provider or care manager, who can arrange it as part of your plan.
A mobile physiotherapy service like Fletcher Physiotherapy coordinates directly with your provider, delivers care aligned to your goals, and supplies any documentation required — making the process simple for you and your family.
