Who is eligible?

Anyone that:

Home visits must be discussed with our team in the first instance, and be within an 8km radius of Coburg.

Anyone referred for management of musculoskeletal conditions (problems with joints and muscles) should be strongly encouraged to attend centre-based appointments, as these conditions require specialist equipment for optimal assessment and treatment.
