As physiotherapists, we can help improve people’s health and function quite considerably, but we can’t do it all...

​Community networks can provide information and education on a condition and its’ management, support groups and seminars, referrals to practitioners, and research project participation and funding for patients, carers, and health professionals affected by a certain condition.
There are many community networks in Australia for physiotherapists to consider, and you may know of some already.

In this blog we’ve summarised some of the largest and most well-known community networks in Australia, according to the condition and stream of physiotherapy practice. We hope this will help increase your awareness of who which networks may be suitable to refer your patients to, and provide some information so you can educate your patients on the supports they may not know they have access to.

In this blog we’ll provide a summary of the health professional disciplines who routinely make up the Allied Health Professions of the Australian healthcare system, and discuss some examples of when it would be appropriate to involve other disciplines.
