Physiotherapy is an investment, not a cost
In a health system under increasing pressure, physiotherapy is too often seen as a discretionary service—an optional extra—rather than a foundational pillar of the health system.
As we have seen recently with the NDIS and aged care sectors, this perception is not only inaccurate but dangerous.
Physiotherapy is not a cost to be trimmed; it is an investment in independence, quality of life and long-term sustainability.
Across the country, we are witnessing a troubling trend.
