Your initial assessment
We take time to understand your condition, symptoms, medical history and goals. Depending on your needs, the assessment may include:
- Listening to your chest and assessing your breathing pattern.
- Oxygen saturation and heart rate at rest and during activity.
- Exercise testing, such as a walk test, to measure your fitness and set safe exercise levels.
- Assessment of cough and sputum clearance.
- Checking inhaler and device technique.
Treatment
From there we build a plan with you. It might include hands-on techniques, airway clearance, breathing retraining, exercise, education and a home program, as well as a referral into our pulmonary rehabilitation classes.
Keeping your doctors informed
If you are referred under a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan, we write to your GP after your first visit and at the end of your plan.
No referral needed to book. Medicare GPCCMP, DVA, NDIS and HICAPS accepted. See fees.
