We're Excited to announce — We will be heading out to Collinsville.
- Beginning 7 May 2026, weekly visits.
- Services would be available at the same standard consultation rates we charge in Bowen.
Our long-term goal is to establish a permanent, sustainable physiotherapy presence in Collinsville.
WHY THIS MATTERS — The challenge of healthcare in regional and remote Australia.
Physiotherapy is not a luxury. The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has formally declared it a critical and essential service for all Australians.
The physiotherapy workforce ratio drops from 2.6 per 10,000 people in capital cities to just 0.6 in very remote areas — meaning rural Australians have less than a quarter of the physiotherapy access of city residents. Approximately 80% of physiotherapists in Australia work in major cities, leaving regional and remote communities significantly underserviced.
Collinsville, with a population of over 3,000 people and zero private physiotherapy services, sits at the extreme end of that gap.
Research consistently shows that sustainable allied health delivery in remote communities depends on drive-in, drive-out models — particularly where population size cannot support a full-time local practice. Consistent support, regular visits, and a long-term sustainable service is what Collinsville needs.
