  • any other medical interventions required.

The rehabilitation team includes rehabilitation specialists, nursing staff, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, patient care assistants, dietitians, speech pathologists, orthotics/prosthetics, podiatrists psychologists and social workers.

All patients referred to the service are assessed for suitability for program participation and admissions are based on the patient’s readiness and capacity to work towards functional goals.
