Why Choose Us?

Independent Rehabilitation Services offers a unique rehabilitation service that is tailored to the specific needs of the individual and delivered in their own home. Our professional and dedicated therapists are highly experienced in the many complex issues that come with acquired brain injury and other neurological disorders.

The rehabilitation programme we develop with each client and their team is personalised, and all about their own functional goals.

Research shows these can be far better achieved in the home environment – particularly when the inpatient rehabilitation phase is complete. (ref)

Our ability to provide therapy in the three allied health areas of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology is conducive to a streamlined multi-disciplinary team approach if required.

Other features of our service include:

• Experienced staff with specialised knowledge in treatment of acquired brain injury
• A quick response to your enquiry to ensure that a therapist begins assessment and treatment as soon as possible.
• Convenience – we come to you
• Relevant and timely communication with case managers, team members and referring bodies.
• Utilization of appropriate and valid outcome measures for goal and progress evaluation
• Registration with compensable bodies such as the Transport Accident Commission, WorkCover, Slow to Recover Program, Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Enhanced Primary Care and the Aged Care Access Initiative.
