Here’s how to get podiatry treatment without moving a muscle!
Wellness & Lifestyles Australia’s (W&L) head office organises all therapy services. With a team of over 80 therapists servicing over 180 sites in South Australia, Northern Territory and Victoria we are well equipped to manage special interest groups. We specialise in aged care but also provide services to the intellectually disabled, district hospitals and community day therapy centres. Many of our sites are for culturally diverse groups (i.e. Ridleyton Greek Home for the Aged, St. Anna’s Hostel and Pennington Aged Care Village), and we have many therapists who are bilingual. In the case that one of our therapists is unable to speak the client’s native language we would organise the home visit with a family member or carer who could act as an interpreter.
“Services given to us include physio & podiatry on a regular basis. Very pleased with both, staff fit in well, have a good knowledge base, and provide us with quality documentation. Both staff members are friendly and reliable.” Southern Cross, Mount Carmel Hostel
Due to the high number of mobile therapists we have on the road, the team of nine W&L office staff can usually organise a therapist to visit the client within 48 hours. The maximum time taken from a request for W&L services in the past 12 months has been a week. Referrals come to the office either electronically or by facsimile using our referral form.
All W&L therapists are registered with their associated boards and most are members of their applicable associations. They also have their own public liability and professional indemnity insurance and current valid police checks. This information is provided to you prior to the mobile podiatry starting.
“I also like the way you forward copies of their registration. It is very good for our quality systems.” All Hallows-Anglicare
All therapists, by being members of their associated boards are required to follow the guidelines put forward by different foundations (i.e. the COPD-X Plan, the NHMRC and the National Heart Foundation). W&L also has a number of therapists who have recently completed their Masters Degrees within their professions which allows us to provide our facilities with current up-to-date evidence-based practice.
