MyoFitness and Aged Care

Helping older Australians stay well, independent, and active in their daily lives.

At MyoFitness, we are proud to offer accessible, evidence-based allied health services that help older Australians stay well, independent, and active in their daily lives. With three clinic locations in North Melbourne, Yarraville, and Surrey Hills, we provide a calm, supportive environment where older clients feel genuinely cared for.

We work in partnership with both Home Care Packages (HCPs) and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), making it easier for eligible clients to receive high-quality care without added financial pressure. Our multidisciplinary team includes qualified physiotherapists, myotherapists, massage therapists, and mental health professionals.

We understand the physical and emotional challenges that come with ageing, and we are here to provide both the expertise and compassion needed to navigate them. Our clinics are calm, purpose-built spaces designed to help clients feel relaxed, respected, and supported.

Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s needs, whether it is improving movement, reducing pain, supporting emotional wellbeing, or enjoying greater comfort and confidence. If you or a loved one has access to a Home Care Package or receives support through the CHSP, we would love to help. We will liaise with your provider or case manager and guide you every step of the way.

Aged care funding programs

How Home Care Packages and CHSP work at MyoFitness

Home Care Packages (HCPs)

Home Care Packages are government-funded programs designed to support older Australians who want to remain living at home safely and independently. The funding can be used for a wide range of health and wellbeing services, including allied health. At MyoFitness, we regularly work with HCP providers and care coordinators to ensure the referral, approval, and billing process is seamless. Once confirmed, clients can begin receiving regular treatments at any of our clinic locations.

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

The CHSP provides entry-level support for older people who are starting to need extra help. While it offers shorter-term or less intensive services than HCPs, allied health support may still be available depending on the client’s needs and care plan. We accept CHSP referrals and work closely with aged care providers to ensure each client receives appropriate and meaningful care delivered by experienced professionals in a safe, respectful setting.

Myotherapy for Older Australians

Myotherapy at MyoFitness addresses chronic musculoskeletal pain, reduced mobility, and postural changes that accumulate with age. Through targeted assessment and manual therapy, myotherapy helps older clients manage pain, improve movement quality, reduce fall risk through better muscle function, and maintain the physical independence that daily life requires.

Physiotherapy for Older Australians

Physiotherapy at MyoFitness supports older clients with rehabilitation after surgery or injury, management of chronic musculoskeletal conditions, balance and falls prevention, and exercise programming appropriate to age and capacity. Physiotherapy under a valid GP CDM plan also attracts a Medicare rebate for eligible older clients.

Psychology and Counselling

The emotional and psychological challenges of ageing, including grief, isolation, anxiety, cognitive change, and adjusting to reduced capacity, are addressed through psychology and counselling at MyoFitness. Mental health is a fundamental part of overall wellbeing, and our psychology and counselling services are available through HCP and CHSP funding for eligible older clients.

Remedial Massage and Lymphatic Drainage

Remedial massage supports pain relief, improved circulation, scar tissue management, and relaxation for older clients. Lymphatic drainage is particularly relevant for older clients managing lymphoedema, chronic fluid retention, or post-surgical swelling. Both services can be funded through Home Care Packages where clinically indicated and approved by the care coordinator.

How it works at MyoFitness

We handle the process. You focus on your care.

Our multidisciplinary team includes qualified physiotherapists, myotherapists, massage therapists, and mental health professionals. We understand the physical and emotional challenges that come with ageing, and we are here to provide both the expertise and compassion needed to navigate them.

Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s needs, whether it is improving movement, reducing pain, supporting emotional wellbeing, or enjoying greater comfort and confidence. No two older clients present the same way, and no two treatment plans at MyoFitness look the same.

For families and carers enquiring on behalf of an older loved one, our team is available to answer questions, explain the funding process, and ensure you have everything you need to make an informed decision before any appointments are booked. Call 03 9028 4087 or email info@myofitness.com.au and we will guide you from the first conversation.

Contact us to discuss your situation

Call us on 03 9028 4087 or email info@myofitness.com.au to discuss your or your loved one’s situation. Our team will help identify which services may be appropriate and confirm whether your Home Care Package or CHSP funding can be applied to treatment at MyoFitness.

We liaise with your provider or case manager

We regularly work with HCP providers and care coordinators to ensure the referral, approval, and billing process is seamless. You do not need to navigate the administrative process alone. Our team will communicate directly with your aged care provider and guide you every step of the way.

A personalised treatment plan is developed

Each treatment at MyoFitness is tailored to the individual’s needs, whether it is improving movement, reducing pain, supporting emotional wellbeing, or enjoying greater comfort and confidence. Your treatment plan is not generic. It is built around your specific presentation, your goals, and your capacity at the time of treatment.

Regular treatment at your chosen clinic

Once confirmed, clients can begin receiving regular treatments at any of the three MyoFitness clinic locations in North Melbourne, Yarraville, or Surrey Hills. Our clinics are calm, purpose-built spaces designed to help older clients feel relaxed, respected, and supported at every appointment.

Does this sound like you or your loved one?

We support older Australians across a wide range of physical and emotional needs.

Older Australians living at home independently

Home Care Package funding is specifically designed to help older Australians remain living at home safely and independently. Allied health services at MyoFitness support this goal by managing musculoskeletal pain, improving mobility, reducing fall risk, and addressing the physical and emotional challenges that accumulate with age.

People managing chronic pain and reduced mobility

Chronic musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, osteoporosis-related changes, and reduced joint mobility are among the most common presentations in older clients at MyoFitness. Our practitioners have experience adapting assessment and treatment for older bodies, with appropriate modifications to pressure, positioning, and technique to ensure comfort and safety at every session.

Older clients managing lymphoedema or swelling

Lymphoedema and chronic lower limb swelling are common in older Australians, particularly following cancer treatment, surgery, or prolonged reduced mobility. Manual lymphatic drainage at MyoFitness, where funded through a Home Care Package and clinically appropriate, supports lymphatic health and physical comfort. The number of sessions for Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy varies depending on the individual case and severity. A typical treatment may last two to three weeks, with two sessions a week initially, decreasing in frequency as progress is made.

People recovering from surgery or hospitalisation

Recovery from joint replacement, cardiac surgery, or prolonged hospitalisation in older adults requires careful, progressive rehabilitation that accounts for reduced physiological reserve and the specific demands of returning to safe daily activity. Physiotherapy and myotherapy at MyoFitness support this recovery process in a calm, accessible clinic environment.

Older Australians managing emotional and psychological wellbeing

Grief, isolation, anxiety about health, cognitive change, and the emotional experience of losing independence are significant psychological challenges for many older Australians. Psychology and counselling at MyoFitness provides a professional, compassionate space to address these challenges, available through HCP funding for eligible clients.

Families and carers making arrangements for a loved one

MyoFitness regularly works with families and carers who are making allied health arrangements on behalf of an older loved one. We are happy to discuss options, explain the HCP and CHSP process, and liaise with care coordinators and providers on your behalf. Call 03 9028 4087 or email info@myofitness.com.au to start the conversation.

Common questions

What to know before you enquire

Home Care Packages are government-funded programs designed to support older Australians who want to remain living at home safely and independently. The funding can be used for a wide range of health and wellbeing services, including allied health. At MyoFitness, we regularly work with HCP providers and care coordinators to ensure the referral, approval, and billing process is seamless. Once confirmed, clients can begin receiving regular treatments at any of our clinic locations with no out-of-pocket cost where funding covers the full service.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides entry-level support for older people who are starting to need extra help. While it offers shorter-term or less intensive services than Home Care Packages, allied health support may still be available depending on the client’s needs and care plan. We accept CHSP referrals at MyoFitness and work closely with aged care providers to ensure each client receives appropriate and meaningful care delivered by experienced professionals in a safe, respectful setting.

Older Australians receiving aged care funding can use their support to access a wide range of services at MyoFitness, including myotherapy, physiotherapy, psychology, counselling, remedial massage, lymphatic drainage, pain management, recovery and mobility support, and chronic condition care. Each treatment is tailored to the individual’s needs. The specific services funded through your Home Care Package will depend on your individual care plan and what your care coordinator has approved. Contact us on 03 9028 4087 and we will help you determine which services can be accessed through your funding.

The number of sessions needed for Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT) varies depending on the individual case and the severity of the condition being treated. Typically, a course of DLT includes both manual lymphatic drainage massage and compression bandaging or garment fitting, as well as self-care education and exercises. A typical treatment may last two to three weeks, with two sessions a week for the first two to three weeks and then decreasing frequency as progress is made. Some clients may need additional treatment sessions to maintain improvement. Your MyoFitness practitioner will assess your specific situation and recommend an appropriate session frequency and duration.

We regularly work with HCP providers and care coordinators to ensure the referral, approval, and billing process is seamless. You or your family member simply needs to contact us to begin the process. We will guide you and your provider through every step to ensure your access to care is as straightforward as possible.

Yes, absolutely. MyoFitness regularly works with families and carers who are making allied health arrangements on behalf of an older loved one.

We understand that navigating aged care funding can feel complex, and our team is experienced in helping families understand what is available and how to access it.
