What Is The Restorative Care Pathway?
The Restorative Care Pathway is a short-term, intensive program in Australia’s Support at Home program, providing multidisciplinary allied health for up to 16 weeks to help older adults regain function, strength, and independence after illness or injury, aiming to delay the need for higher-level care through personalised goals, exercise, and support. It’s funded separately from Support at Home funding, offers intensive support to achieve specific goals, and is designed to boost recovery and prevent decline, not replace ongoing care.

Who The Restorative Care Pathway Is For
The Restorative Care Pathway is for older Australians (65+, or 50+ for Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander people) who need short-term, intensive support to regain independence after a setback like an illness, injury, or fall, with goals like improving mobility, balance, or function to stay at home longer. It’s for motivated individuals who can actively participate in a recovery plan with allied health and nursing to prevent further decline, not for those needing end-of-life or permanent care.
- Have had a recent decline after illness, injury, surgery, or a hospital stay
- Want goal-based support to improve mobility, balance, strength, or daily living
- Can actively participate in a short-term program designed to build independence

What Support Can Be Included
Support is time-limited and goal-based, delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Depending on needs, a restorative care episode include:
- Allied health support (commonly Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, other disciplines as needed)
- Ongoing monitoring and progress reviews
- Assistive technology, equipment, and home modifications through the Assistive Technology & Home Modifications (AT-HM) scheme (when needed)
How the Restorative Care Pathway works
Assessment & eligibility
You’ll need an aged care assessment completed by an aged care assessor and meet the pathway’s suitability criteria.
Your goal
A restorative care partner works with you (and your registered supporter if required) and the multidisciplinary team to create an individualised goal plan.
Intensive short-term support (up to 16 weeks)
You receive targeted services that focus on restoring function and building capacity.
Review & next steps
At the end of the episode, you can request a Support Plan Review to check goal progress and determine whether ongoing supports are needed.

Our mobile Allied Health services
Mobile healthcare allows you to receive tailored allied health support at home, rather than travelling to a provider. Across Australia, you can schedule a visit and receive care in the environment that matters most, your everyday space. When you book a mobile appointment with Hub & Spoke, our practitioner delivers personalised care designed around your needs, your goals, and your home set-up.
Our Hub & Spoke practitioners will bring their equipment with them so you get the full benefit of a clinic visit without leaving your home. The biggest benefit of assessing you at home is we get to understand your home environment. As a result, we can make instant changes to anything that could be contributing to your aches and pains, or restrictions in movement.
Our initial consultations run for 1-hour and follow-up appointments for 30-45 minutes, potentially reducing the number of visits you’ll need and providing value for money.
We’ll bring our experience and equipment to your home to provide the best evidence-based physiotherapy to support you in moving and living better.
We deeply understand fitness, exercise prescription, dosage, anatomy, physiology and most importantly, we prevent you from re-injuring yourself.
Art Therapy uses the creative process of art to enhance the emotional and physical well-being of children and adults. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home, and we bring all art supplies with us.
Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. It can be delivered in the comfort of your own home. Our music therapists bring an array of instruments with them to cater to any therapeutic musical preferences.
Our skilled therapists can help you regain independence and reach your goals. Whether you’re suffering from a physical injury or mental health condition, we’re here to help.
There are times in life when you need a little more—someone who has additional training and experience to support you (or your patient), or they need post-hospital care. Whether that’s cancer care, paediatric physio, transition care program, hospital in the home or aged care physio.
