Well Balanced Care

Today is World Occupational Therapy Day, a celebration of the meaningful activities that make life what it is.

At Well Balanced Care, we believe everyone deserves the chance to participate, connect, and thrive, no matter where they live.

Here’s to the people who make that possible every day; our clinicians, families, and communities. 💚

We feel it

As a provider of allied health services into RRR australia we see and feel the lost of our colleagues from our communities

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17NFm8XiLv/?mibextid=wwXIfr

In small rural towns, spending on private allied health is now 80% lower than in metropolitan areas - a stark reflection of how thin the workforce has become

This isn’t just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It means:
⚠️ Fewer physios to support recovery after injury or surgery.
⚠️ Fewer psychologists and counsellors to help manage stress and mental health.
⚠️ Fewer podiatrists, dietitians, occupational therapists and speech pathologists - key roles in preventing chronic conditions from worsening.

When access to allied health disappears, so does the chance for early intervention, rehabilitation, and long-term wellbeing.

Behind every missed appointment or months-long waitlist is a person in pain, a child missing school, or an older Australian losing independence. If we want equitable health outcomes, we must urgently rebuild and retain the allied health workforce in rural Australia - not just fund hospitals in crisis.

✨ Team Training Day ✨

Recently our team came together for a professional development day, diving into the world of sensory integration. We were lucky to learn from our very own certified ASI (Ayres Sensory Integration®) Occupational Therapist, Michaela, who led us through a practical skill share on sensory processing and its impact on daily life. Days like these not only build our knowledge but also strengthen our connection as a team, ensuring we keep bringing evidence-based, client-centred care to our community.

25/09/2025

Big congratulations to Michaela on achieving her ASI (Ayres Sensory Integration®) certification! 🎉 We are so proud of the dedication and hard work she put into this training. Her expertise will continue to make such a positive impact for the families and participants we support. Well done, Michaela - what an amazing achievement, we are so proud of you!
