Goals based 8 week program

We will help you to identify your goals and what you would like to achieve. The 8-week program is delivered in the comfort of your own home or within the community.

You can access 2 episodes of STRC within a 12 month period.

Following the end of the restorative care period, you will be able to continue some services if you are assessed as having a need to support you in living in your own home. Co.As.It. will be able to guide you in accessing further services to meet your goals.

The multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals, including your GP, will help you improve your mobility, reduce pain and improve your overall health.
