Primary Care Rehabilitation Facilities (PCRFs) :

Patients may be referred to see a physiotherapist at a PCRF which is normally based at Defence Primary Healthcare medical facilities. A physiotherapist will complete a detailed assessment within 10 working days of the first consultation and provide treatment and rehabilitation as required. Many PCRFs have an Exercise Rehabilitation Instructor who can also provide injury-specific exercise therapy and advice on gradual return to fitness.

These clinics have access to a wide range of medical imaging to make an accurate diagnosis and work out a treatment plan, while also providing additional treatment options, such as pain management.
