Community wellness centre
Opening hours
Please note that appointments are only available during teaching periods and are subject to University semester schedules.
Our community wellness centre – based at the Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre – provides affordable and accessible early‑intervention services to support the health of people living in the region. We've started with physiotherapy and will soon expand to speech pathology and occupational therapy.
Current treatments are delivered by Federation physiotherapy students who work alongside registered clinicians to help clients recover from injury, improve mobility or work on performance.
About the centre
We provide evidence-based assessment and treatments for a range of conditions. Services include:
- musculoskeletal rehabilitation
- chronic disease exercise programs
- falls prevention and balance training
- post-injury mobility and strengthening
- early intervention physiotherapy support.
We can also assist with:
- muscle and joint pain
- osteoarthritis management
- tendinopathy
- post-surgical rehabilitation (non-complex cases)
- falls risk and balance concerns
- chronic disease exercise support
- reduced mobility
- deconditioning
- health and wellbeing goal setting.
Services are delivered by final year Bachelor of Physiotherapy students, closely supervised by registered physiotherapists. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively with patients, supervisors and (where relevant) referring providers.
Concession is available to Health Care Card holders, students and pensioners.
