We are incredibly grateful for WAMS's support in increasing the frequency of this vital allied health service, which has directly improved access and service delivery for our clients. As of 2025, physiotherapy is a consistent weekly service. This service is robustly supported by a blend of talented physiotherapists from both Outback Therapy (Lightning Ridge) and Raymond Terrace Therapy, ensuring our community benefits from a wide variety of personalities and physiotherapy skillsets.
