Mill Park Physiotherapy are now offering Telehealth amidst the COVID-19 health crisis. Under the current guidelines by the Federal Minister for Health - Greg Hunt, has deemed physiotherapy an "essential service" and therefore Mill Park Physiotherapy will remain open unless recommended otherwise.

​

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the provision of a health service using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Telehealth can occur over the phone, or utilising a smart phone, desktop/laptop or iPad/tablet with a camera attached. It has been shown to be both safe and effective.

​

How does Telehealth work with physiotherapy?

Mill Park Physiotherapy are currently offering Telehealth through an application called Physitrack. Your physiotherapist can provide education, demonstration of exercises and exercise program prescription through video chat. 

​

How will my appointment work?

If you are currently a patient at Mill Park Physiotherapy, you can chat to your physiotherapist about organising Telehealth for your future appointments should you choose to not attend the clinic. Your physiotherapist will send you a link to join Physitrack via an app (PhysiAPP) where you will have your Telehealth consultation. Please ensure you are available 5-10min before the time of your appointment to set up the app, camera and microphone on your device.

For new clients, please call 9436 9666 to discuss Telehealth with reception or one of our physiotherapists.
