HammondCare Short Term Restorative Care (STRC) programmes are designed to support older people who are living at home to provide preventative therapy and reverse functional decline. Programmes are available in Northern Sydney, South West Sydney, South East Sydney and Inner West areas. Programmes are delivered by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, exercise physiologists and therapy assistants into people’s homes. The MDT also works closely with the person’s medical team (i.e., General Practitioner or Geriatrician) throughout their programme. STRC programmes are delivered over a period of (up to) 8 weeks. The programme can be accessed by a referral to My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or www.myagedcare.gov.au/make-a-referral
