Services at CAHC Chatswood
CAHC Chatswood offers five allied health disciplines from its ground-floor clinic in the heart of Chatswood — physiotherapy, chiropractic, exercise physiology, psychology, and dietetics. Home visits and mobile services are also available across the Lower North Shore and North Shore catchment for patients who prefer care at home.
Our AHPRA-registered physiotherapists work with patients experiencing musculoskeletal pain, workplace injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and neck, shoulder, and chronic pain conditions. The clinic’s location in a Pacific Highway office tower is well-suited to working professionals across the North Shore — appointments are available across the week to suit office hours.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic at CAHC Chatswood is provided by AHPRA-registered chiropractors — AHPRA registration is a legal requirement for all chiropractors practising in Australia. Chiropractic focuses primarily on spinal and joint assessment and management, supporting patients with neck and back pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal complaints. While chiropractic and physiotherapy share some conditions of interest, chiropractic applies a distinct clinical approach; if you are unsure which discipline is the right fit for your situation, call our reception team on (02) 9060 9766.
Our ESSA-accredited exercise physiologists design and deliver tailored exercise programs for patients managing chronic conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and mental health conditions. Exercise physiology is also a key pathway for patients rehabilitating from workplace injuries and for NDIS participants with capacity-building goals. All exercise physiologists hold a minimum four-year university degree and hold ESSA (Exercise & Sports Science Australia) accreditation.
Our AHPRA-registered psychologists see patients experiencing anxiety, depression, workplace stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, chronic pain, and more. Psychology at Chatswood is available under Medicare Better Access — patients can access up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year with a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from their GP. Rebate amounts are subject to change — confirm current rates with your GP or the clinic.
Dietetics
Our Accredited Practising Dietitians — credentialled by Dietitians Australia — provide dietary assessment and support for patients managing type 2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease, cardiovascular conditions, weight management, cancer nutrition, and eating-related concerns. Sessions are tailored to each patient's health goals, lifestyle, and cultural food preferences.
