Services at our Blacktown clinic
CAHC Blacktown is one of our more comprehensive western Sydney clinics, with five disciplines available under one roof — Physiotherapy, Exercise Physiology, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, and Dietetics. Patients with complex or co-occurring health needs can receive coordinated, multi-discipline care at the one location, without travelling to multiple clinics. Home visits and mobile services are also available for patients across the Blacktown catchment who are unable to attend in person — see our Home Visits page for coverage details. NDIS participants and aged care clients are welcome.
Physiotherapy
Our AHPRA-registered Physiotherapists at Blacktown provide musculoskeletal assessment and treatment, injury rehabilitation, post-operative recovery support, chronic pain management, and return-to-work conditioning programmes. Blacktown's large construction, warehousing, and trade workforce means that WorkCover and CTP claims are a primary referral pathway at this clinic — our free Insurance Claims Advisory team handles all insurer paperwork at no cost to the patient. Early appointments are available from 8:00am on Mondays and Wednesdays for patients who need to be seen before work.
Exercise Physiology
Our ESSA-accredited Exercise Physiologists provide evidence-based, individually tailored exercise programmes for patients managing chronic conditions including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and mental health conditions.
