Seniors Lifestyle Victoria Program
Our multi-disciplinary team, combines care navigation, exercise physiology, physiotherapy, dietetics and counselling to create a holistic care approach.
During the 6-month program our team will work with you to create a personalised care plan and support you to achieve your health goals.
This program is also well suited to those managing a chronic health condition and looking to complement the care you already have.
Through the program, you may be assisted to access and learn more about aged-care services and also connect with a range of supports.
