Reconditioning is a process that aims to maximise your recovery and restore your independence after illness, injury or surgery. This can includes improving cardiovascular fitness and general strength, as well as increasing endurance and enhancing overall quality of life.

At our Hospital you will receive personalised attention and care from our multidisciplinary team, whose full focus is on facilitating your recovery.

Who can benefit from this program?

Our Reconditioning Program is specifically tailored for individuals who are deconditioned and facing challenges with daily activities, mobility, or balance due to various reasons, including:

• Recent illness

• Debilitating injury

• Surgical or medical admission

• Limitations in activities of daily living

• Generalised weakness or reduced exercise capacity

Together, we will collaborate to enhance your capacity for daily activities, ensuring safe and independent mobility both at home and in the community.

We can help you to:

• Increase your strength and endurance

• Enhance your balance and mobility

• Regain and maintain independence – work towards restoring your independence in daily tasks

• Improve your general health and wellbeing, and contribute to an improved quality of life

How To access

Ask your GP, specialist or hospital (if you are an inpatient) for a referral to our program. Once we receive your referral, our team will promptly contact you to confirm any out-of-pocket costs and schedule your program start date.

Day Rehabilitation

Our day programs are designed for those living independently at home and seeking to improve their strength without the need for inpatient medical support. You can access our day programs either after an inpatient rehab admission or as required from the community.

Our day programs focus on improving your ability to complete activities of daily living and enhancing your overall quality of life. They typically involve 2-3 sessions per week, with each session involving 1-3 hours of exercise therapy based on your needs and goals.

Our day programs are suitable for those who:

  • Have completed an inpatient rehab stay and require ongoing rehabilitation support as they transition back home/into the community
  • Are focused on improving their fitness and mobility following an accident, injury or surgery
  • Would benefit from the support and expertise of our allied health team in managing a chronic illness

Whether you choose to attend inpatient rehab or a day program, you will be cared for by our dedicated team, which may include:

  • Rehab Physicians
  • Registered Nurses
  • Physiotherapists
  • Exercise Physiologists
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Social Workers
  • Dietitian
  • Speech Therapist
Inpatient Rehabilitation

Inpatient rehabilitation is suitable for individuals who require medical coverage and nursing care, and involves a full time stay at our hospital. As an inpatient, you are provided with a structured environment that helps you to focus on your recovery with regular mealtimes, bedtimes and daily exercise sessions with allied health professionals. This also ensures that you are closely monitored and changes in your condition are addressed immediately.

We provide medical inpatient services to patients who:

  • Are unable to cope at home or have no one to care for them after hospitalisation, after a bout of illness, a fall or fracture or those unsteady on their feet
  • Are suffering a chronic illness and are in need of acute hospital care
  • Are in need of continuing IV antibiotics or wound care such as VAC dressings
  • Are not ready for rehabilitation, for example, those who are non-weight bearing or slow to heal

The length of your stay will be dependent on your progress and your specific needs as assessed fortnightly by our rehabilitation physicians and allied health professionals.
