Nurse-led home care, Brisbane North
Allied health professionals help you keep the abilities that matter for everyday life: walking safely, swallowing comfortably, eating well and staying connected to people. Seeing them at home means the advice fits your real environment, from the height of your bed to the step at your back door.
We arrange access to physiotherapy, speech pathology, dietetics and social work, with your care coordinated by our nurse-led team.

Four kinds of specialist support, arranged and coordinated by our nurse-led team.
A physiotherapist assesses your strength, balance and mobility, then sets exercises you can do at home. Physiotherapy can help after a fall, an operation or a period of illness, and it supports falls prevention for people who feel unsteady on their feet.
Speech pathologists help with communication and with swallowing difficulties, which are common after a stroke and with some neurological conditions. A swallowing assessment can identify safer food textures and drinks, lowering the risk of choking and chest infections.
A dietitian looks at what you eat and drink and gives practical advice for unplanned weight loss, diabetes, poor appetite, wound healing and other health needs.
A social worker offers counselling and emotional support, helps with major life changes and connects you with community services and resources.
Older people who need support with mobility, communication, swallowing, nutrition or emotional and social wellbeing. Your GP, a hospital team or our nurses may recommend an allied health assessment, or you can ask us directly.
Allied health works best when everyone involved knows the plan. If a physio sets daily exercises, our carers can encourage you to do them. If a dietitian recommends a texture-modified diet, our team can follow it at mealtimes. Our nurses make sure those recommendations reach the people who support you each day.
Support at Home
Under Support at Home, allied health services such as physiotherapy are clinical supports and are fully government funded where they are in your support plan. Short-term allied health may also be available through the Restorative Care Pathway. See Support at Home and costs.
