Refer Own Body

Thank you for your interest in how Own Body can care for your valued clients in the comfort and convenience of their own home. Referrals can be emailed, made by phone (03) 96962639, completed using our referral form or faxed (03 8672 0770). Unlike many other providers, you won’t be waiting days to hear back from us.

We have a dedicated administration team who are available from 9am-5pm Monday-Friday to assist with any enquiries or urgent requests.

About our service

Own Body provides mobile physiotherapy, occupational therapy and podiatry in clients’ homes across the east coast of Australia. Above all else our goal is to assist clients to maintain their lifestyle, and to improve and maximise their capacity to live as independently as possibly. An important feature of Own Body is that we endeavour to always commence treatment within a maximum of 3 days from referral, which can be especially vital immediately post discharge when the patients require regular therapy or monitoring, but are unable to drive.

When our wait lists do increase, we are transparent with our clients and referrers so you can have realistic expectations of when the service will commence.
