Services at CAHC Chester Hill
Chester Hill offers three allied health disciplines from its Waldron Road location — physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and psychology (available via telehealth). Home visits and mobile services are available across the Cumberland and Canterbury-Bankstown catchment for patients who cannot attend in-clinic. For patients who need occupational therapy, dietetics, or in-person psychology, CAHC has several nearby clinics offering these disciplines — see “Other CAHC Clinics Near Chester Hill” below.
CAHC Chester Hill’s AHPRA-registered physiotherapists work with patients across a broad range of presentations — musculoskeletal conditions, back and neck pain, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accident rehabilitation (CTP), sports injuries, post-operative recovery, and chronic pain management. Appointments run Monday through Friday. If you need an after-work appointment, Wednesday and Friday sessions are available until 6:00pm.
Exercise Physiology
CAHC Chester Hill's ESSA-accredited exercise physiologists (EPs) support patients managing chronic health conditions — including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer rehabilitation, and mental health conditions — as well as patients in workplace injury rehabilitation and NDIS capacity-building programs. Exercise physiology is distinct from physiotherapy: EPs hold a four-year university degree and focus on therapeutic exercise prescription for long-term health and functional capacity.
Psychology (Telehealth)
CAHC Chester Hill's AHPRA-registered psychologists support patients with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, workplace stress, and more — delivered via telehealth from this location. Rebated sessions are available under Medicare Better Access with a Mental Health Treatment Plan (MHTP) from your GP. Rebate amounts are subject to change — confirm current rates with your GP or the clinic. Patients who prefer an in-person psychology appointment can be directed to a nearby CAHC clinic.
