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 can include:

Inpatient rehabilitation is suitable for individuals who require 24 hour medical 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.
