Allied Health Service

Allied Health Services Canberra

Allied health services are healthcare services provided by qualified professionals who work alongside your GP to support diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of medical conditions.

At Verity Medical Practice, allied health services form part of a coordinated care approach. Your GP may refer you to an allied health professional when additional expertise is required to manage your condition effectively.

Care is delivered by qualified professionals who work collaboratively with individuals and families to ensure treatment plans are respectful, goal-oriented and responsive to individual needs.

Why Allied Health Support Is Important

Allied health services help:

Improve recovery after injury or surgery
Manage chronic diseases effectively
Reduce pain and improve mobility
Support mental health and emotional wellbeing
Enhance quality of life

Our approach integrates assessment, therapy and ongoing review to ensure care remains effective and aligned with each individual’s goals.

Our Allied Health Services

Our allied health services support recovery, rehabilitation and functional independence across all stages of life. Care is tailored to individual needs and focused on practical, meaningful outcomes.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and reducing pain following injury, surgery, or chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Treatment may include manual therapy, strengthening exercises, posture correction, rehabilitation programs, and mobility training. Physiotherapists also assist with sports injuries, back and neck pain, arthritis, and post-operative recovery.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy assists individuals who experience difficulty performing daily activities due to injury, disability or developmental conditions. Support may include functional assessments, home safety evaluations, adaptive equipment recommendations and practical strategies to improve independence in everyday tasks.

Speech Pathology

Speech pathology services address communication and swallowing difficulties in children and adults. Early assessment supports improved outcomes and confidence. Therapy may focus on language development, speech clarity, voice disorders or communication support following stroke or neurological injury.

Podiatry

Podiatrists specialise in foot and lower limb health. Services may include treatment of foot pain, skin and nail conditions, biomechanical assessment, and preventative foot care. Podiatry is particularly important for patients with diabetes to reduce the risk of ulcers and complications.

Mental Health & Counselling

Emotional wellbeing is closely linked to physical health. Counselling services provide a safe and supportive environment to address anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. Therapy sessions focus on practical coping strategies, resilience-building and improved emotional stability.

Diabetes Education

Diabetes education supports people living with diabetes in managing their condition effectively and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. A Diabetes Educator provides guidance on blood glucose monitoring, medication management, healthy eating, physical activity, and preventing diabetes-related complications. Patients can receive personalised advice and practical strategies to better understand their condition and improve long-term health outcomes. Diabetes education also helps individuals develop confidence in managing their daily care and making informed health decisions.
