How we help

Services for Older Australians at Home

Physiotherapy

Pain management, mobility improvement, strength building, falls prevention, and post-hospital rehabilitation. Our physios develop a practical program you can follow at home between visits.

Occupational therapy

Home safety assessments, equipment prescription (grab rails, shower chairs, walking frames), home modifications, and daily living support to help you stay independent.

Exercise physiology

Structured exercise programs for chronic conditions, diabetes management, heart health, balance and falls prevention, and general functional fitness.

"The team at Grafton have been looking after my mum through her Support at Home plan. The physio comes to her house every fortnight and she's so much more confident on her feet now. They always keep me in the loop which I really appreciate."
- Sarah K., family member, Grafton
