Physiotherapy home visits in Auburn

Auburn has large Mandarin, Nepali, Arabic and Turkish-speaking communities, and a physiotherapy program that has not been properly understood is a program that quietly does not get done. We would rather spend twenty minutes of a first visit making sure the exercises make sense to the person doing them than leave a printed sheet nobody reads.

Care is available in Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese. Where the family speaks something else, we are comfortable working with an interpreter or with an adult child translating, and we write the updates so they can be forwarded and read by whoever needs them.

Local detail

Languages

Mandarin, Nepali, Arabic and Turkish are the languages most often spoken at home here. We provide care directly in Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese, and work with interpreters or family for the rest.

A goal worth working toward here

A walk through Auburn Botanic Gardens without needing to sit down halfway, which is a realistic six-to-twelve week target for a lot of people after a fall.

Housing stock

Post-war cottages close to the station alongside newer townhouses further out, so what a program has to account for varies street by street.
