What is the Community Rehabilitation Centre?

The Community Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) is a team based service.

Our programs are designed to help you achieve the best recovery. Our aim is to improve or maintain your independence.

Our goal is to help you achieve the best outcomes to improve your quality of life.

What is the General Rehabilitation Program?

The CRC provides a short-term program that is goal-based.  You will have an individualised program to help improve your skills.  You will be seen at the CRC or at home, depending on your therapy needs.

What services are provided?

The CRC team consists of:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech Therapy
  • Dietetics
  • Social Worker
  • Allied Health Assistant

Who should attend CRC rehabilitation?

These programs are suitable if you

  • are recovering after an operation, illness or injury
  • have a long term health condition which makes it difficult for you to manage day to day activities
  • are at risk of falling or have difficulty with walking

You will be assessed and we will work with you to set realistic goals.  This is done with input from you and your family.

With your consent you may be referred to other health care workers.

How do you book in?

Your doctor or health professional will send your referral directly to the Community Rehabilitation Centre.

A First Call staff member will contact you to gain some initial information.

A  CRC staff member will then contact you to arrange an assessment.

Assessments are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

When are therapy sessions held?

Therapy takes place in a group setting in CRC.  You will have your own specially designed program but will work alongside others.

Tuesday morning:
30am–12.00 noon

Thursday morning:

Where is the CRC?
