Mobile Physiotherapy in New South Wales & Queensland
CAHC’s AHPRA-registered mobile Physiotherapy team brings the same clinical standard as our 24 clinics directly to your home, workplace, construction site, or community setting across Greater Sydney & Queensland — no travel required on your part. Whether you are a patient who cannot easily attend a clinic, or an employer seeking to manage workplace injury risk through on-site Physiotherapy, CAHC’s mobile team is equipped to serve both. All CAHC mobile Physiotherapists hold current AHPRA registration and are members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). We accept NDIS, Support at Home, DVA, Medicare CDM, WorkCover, CTP, and private health funding for mobile and home-based services.
What Is Mobile Physiotherapy?
Mobile Physiotherapy is the delivery of AHPRA-registered Physiotherapy services outside a clinic setting — at a patient’s home, workplace, construction site, school, aged care facility, or community setting — by a qualified Physiotherapist who travels to you. The clinical standard is identical to clinic-based Physiotherapy: the same comprehensive assessment, the same evidence-based treatment approaches, and the same AHPRA-registered practitioner. The only difference is the delivery location.
All CAHC mobile Physiotherapists are members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) and maintain the same registration and ongoing professional development requirements as any clinic-based colleague.
Mobile Physiotherapy exists because two distinct groups benefit from out-of-clinic delivery: patients who cannot easily travel to one of CAHC’s 24 locations — including post-surgical patients, NDIS participants, aged care clients, and those with significant mobility limitations — and workplaces that benefit from having Physiotherapy delivered on-site rather than sending workers off-site for treatment.
For the broader multi-discipline home visit service — covering Occupational Therapy, Exercise Physiology, Speech Pathology, Dietetics, Podiatry, and more — see CAHC’s Home Visits service. This Mobile Physiotherapy page is Physiotherapy-specific and also covers workplace and enterprise delivery settings not included on the Home Visits page.
Home and Community Visit Physiotherapy
CAHC’s mobile Physiotherapists provide home and community-based Physiotherapy across Greater Sydney & Queensland, removing the need for patients to travel to a clinic.
Post-surgical and medically complex patients
CAHC mobile Physiotherapists visit patients recovering from surgery who cannot yet safely travel to a clinic. Knee replacement, hip replacement, spinal surgery, and major orthopaedic procedures all carry an early post-operative window where home-based Physiotherapy is clinically appropriate. Our mobile Physiotherapists work within the operating surgeon’s post-operative protocol to ensure continuity of care. For more information, see our Pre & Post-Op Rehabilitation service.
NDIS participants
Mobile Physiotherapy is available to NDIS participants under Capacity Building — Improved Daily Living. Home-based delivery removes transport barriers for participants with complex physical presentations, and allows the Physiotherapist to assess and treat within the participant's actual living environment — directly relevant for mobility, falls prevention, and home exercise program design. Eligibility depends on your individual NDIS plan goals — speak with your support coordinator or contact us to confirm.
Aged care and Support at Home clients
CAHC mobile Physiotherapists provide home-based Physiotherapy for older adults through the Support at Home program, DVA funding, and private arrangements — including falls prevention programs, post-hospitalisation rehabilitation, and ongoing management of chronic conditions.
People without nearby clinic access
Mobile Physiotherapy is also available for private patients who live at a distance from a CAHC clinic, or who prefer home-based treatment — including people with chronic conditions, significant pain limiting travel, or caring responsibilities that prevent clinic attendance.
Contact your nearest CAHC clinic to confirm home and community visit availability in your area — coverage varies by location and practitioner availability.
Workplace and Onsite Physiotherapy — The Enterprise Offering
CAHC’s mobile Physiotherapy team provides on-site Physiotherapy services to businesses, construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and corporate offices across Greater Sydney & Queensland — bringing injury management, early intervention, and WorkCover support directly to your workplace. What on-site workplace Physiotherapy covers
Early intervention and injury assessment
A CAHC mobile Physiotherapist attends your workplace to assess a worker who has reported musculoskeletal pain or a workplace injury, before the condition escalates to a formal WorkCover claim. Early intervention Physiotherapy is associated with reduced severity and duration of workplace injuries in the research literature. Prompt on-site clinical assessment means your WHS team acts on risk quickly and with qualified support.
Workstation and ergonomic assessments
For office, corporate, and call centre environments, CAHC Physiotherapists assess individual workstations and computer setups, identifying and addressing ergonomic risk factors before they result in injury. Findings are documented and presented to your WHS or HR team with clear recommendations.
Manual handling education
For industries with high manual handling demand — construction, warehousing, logistics, aged care, and manufacturing — CAHC Physiotherapists provide on-site manual handling guidance tailored to the specific tasks and equipment used at your facility.
WorkCover case management and return-to-work support
For workers with active WorkCover claims, CAHC's mobile Physiotherapist can attend the workplace for return-to-work assessments, functional capacity assessments, and coordination with the employer and case manager.
On-site rehabilitation
For workers who cannot leave the worksite for clinic appointments, on-site Physiotherapy delivers treatment in a suitable workplace space — reducing lost work time and supporting a faster, supported return to full duties.
Who benefits from onsite workplace Physiotherapy
Construction companies · warehouses and logistics operators · manufacturing and processing facilities · aged care providers · government agencies · schools and universities · any business managing manual handling or sedentary workforce health.

What to Expect from a Mobile Physiotherapy Visit
Step 1 — Booking and confirmation When booking a mobile Physiotherapy appointment, advise our reception team that you are requesting a home or workplace visit and provide your address. We will confirm coverage and Physiotherapist availability in your area and advise of any travel component applicable to your location and funding stream.
Step 2 — Preparation For home visits: have a clear space adequate for assessment and exercise — a lounge room, bedroom, or outdoor area is typically sufficient. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the body area being treated. Have any relevant medical paperwork ready: GP referral letter, surgical discharge summary, Medicare card, NDIS plan details, or health fund card. For workplace visits: the employer provides a suitable space such as a first aid room, treatment room, or quiet area away from the workfloor.
Step 3 — Assessment and treatment Your CAHC Physiotherapist arrives with portable assessment and treatment equipment and conducts the same consultation as a clinic appointment — a full subjective history, physical examination, and hands-on treatment within the session.
Step 4 — Home program and follow-up A home exercise program and written recommendations are provided before your Physiotherapist leaves. Follow-up appointments can be arranged during the visit, by phone, or via your nearest CAHC clinic.
Step 5 — Ongoing care pathway Where clinically appropriate, your Physiotherapist will advise whether ongoing home visits, a transition to one of CAHC’s 24 clinic locations, or a combination of both is the best approach for your recovery goals.
Family members, carers, and support persons are welcome at all home-based appointments.

Before your visit, ensure you have a clear space adequate for assessment and exercise — a lounge room, bedroom, or outdoor area is typically sufficient. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the body area being treated. Have any relevant medical paperwork ready: your GP referral letter, surgical discharge summary, Medicare card, NDIS plan details, or health fund card. Your CAHC Physiotherapist brings all portable assessment and treatment equipment — you do not need to provide any clinical equipment at home. Family members, carers, and support persons are welcome throughout the appointment.
CAHC mobile Physiotherapists deliver the same AHPRA-registered clinical standard as our clinic-based practitioners — the same assessment process, the same evidence-based treatment approaches, and the same professional registration requirements apply. Our mobile Physiotherapists carry portable equipment that allows the delivery of the majority of Physiotherapy interventions at your home or workplace. Occasionally, certain clinical techniques benefit from specialist clinic-based equipment. If this applies to your situation at any stage of your care, your CAHC Physiotherapist will advise whether attending one of our 24 clinic locations would be clinically preferable.
Early intervention Physiotherapy is associated with reduced severity and duration of workplace injuries in the research literature — attending to a musculoskeletal concern before it becomes a formal WorkCover claim is consistently associated with shorter claim timelines and better outcomes for workers. On-site treatment also reduces lost work time by removing the need for workers to leave the workplace for clinic appointments. WorkCover claims that are managed actively and collaboratively from the outset tend to have shorter duration and clearer return-to-work pathways. CAHC does not guarantee specific reductions in WorkCover claim costs — contact our patient management team to discuss how an onsite Physiotherapy arrangement might support your workplace’s specific WorkCover strategy.
