Clinic
A modern, well-equipped clinic for your Allied Health needs
All Allied Health services can be provided in clinic between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday.
Centrally located in the heart of Maroochydore, SSRG has a modern, well-resourced clinic with ample parking. Our first-floor clinic can be accessed via a wheelchair-friendly elevator located at the southern end of the building. There are also wheelchair friendly bathroom facilities available.
Our clinic has:
- A spacious gym designed to accommodate groups, families and individuals utilising larger mobility aids
- A large training room capable of accommodating groups
- A quiet, private consultation space for assessments and individual therapy
Appointments are usually scheduled for 30, 60 or 90 minutes depending on the service received. Family, support workers and approved representatives are welcome to attend or wait in our comfortable reception area during the appointment. For convenience we can also accommodate multi-disciplinary team attendance at single appointments.
In-home
In-home Allied Health services for your comfort
SSRG has a long history of effectively delivering in-home services because we understand that many clients feel most comfortable in a familiar and safe environment. Seeing your home environment also allows your therapist to better understand and assess your living arrangements by observing any access challenges, meeting your support systems, and generally developing a more holistic concept of your abilities, interests, and goals. It can also be useful for your therapist to observe you using your own facilities and equipment, and participating in important activities like cooking, gardening, or looking after your pets.
Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology, Exercise Physiology and other Allied Health Services can all be provided at home, facilitating:
- Ease of access
- Decreased travel time
- Practice of exercise/activities in your natural environment
- Customisation of Assistive Technology
- Customisation of Home Modifications
Therapists bring the required resources to the appointment, including:
- Assessment kits
- Trial equipment
- Therapy activities
- Gym equipment
- Handouts and resources
- Other technology and electronic devices as required to assist in delivering high-quality services
Visits are scheduled according to your needs, so as not to disrupt daily activities like showering, meals, day programs and other appointments you need to attend.
Telehealth
Telehealth services for your safety and convenience
Telehealth is the use of information and communication technologies to receive therapy services in the comfort of your own home. Telehealth is similar to other video communication platforms like Face Time or Skype, and means that you can see and hear the other person in real time. Telehealth can include a range of activities including video calls, voice calls, emails, sharing of documents and pictures, use of Youtube or other electronic games or media.
Benefits of Telehealth
- Convenience
- No need to travel
- Greater access to skilled therapists if you are living in a remote area
Telehealth outcomes
Evidence suggests that there are similar outcomes between Telehealth and in-person Allied Health service delivery. The important part of your service is the quality of the intervention and the skills of your therapist. Telehealth simply provides an alternative mode of service delivery.
