Services at CAHC Chester Hill
CAHC Chester Hill offers four allied health disciplines from its Waldron Road location — physiotherapy, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, and dietetics. Home visits and mobile services are available across the Cumberland and Canterbury-Bankstown catchment for patients who cannot attend in-clinic. For patients who need psychology, CAHC has several nearby clinics offering this service — see “Other CAHC Clinics Near Chester Hill” below.
CAHC Chester Hill’s AHPRA-registered physiotherapists work with patients across a broad range of presentations — musculoskeletal conditions, back and neck pain, workplace injuries, motor vehicle accident rehabilitation (CTP), sports injuries, post-operative recovery, and chronic pain management. Appointments run Monday through Friday. If you need an after-work appointment, Wednesday and Friday sessions are available until 6:00pm.
Exercise Physiology
CAHC Chester Hill's ESSA-accredited exercise physiologists (EPs) support patients managing chronic health conditions — including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer rehabilitation, and mental health conditions — as well as patients in workplace injury rehabilitation and NDIS capacity-building programs. Exercise physiology is distinct from physiotherapy: EPs hold a four-year university degree and focus on therapeutic exercise prescription for long-term health and functional capacity.
Chester Hill’s AHPRA-registered occupational therapists support patients whose daily function, independence, or work capacity has been affected by injury, disability, or chronic illness. OT at Chester Hill encompasses daily living assessments, NDIS functional capacity assessments, assistive technology recommendations, home modification reports, and workplace rehabilitation — making it a key resource for NDIS participants and WorkCover claimants in the Cumberland LGA.
Occupational therapy is not available at the nearby Bankstown or Auburn CAHC clinics. Chester Hill is the closest CAHC location in the Cumberland LGA offering OT — an important consideration for NDIS participants and WorkCover claimants who need this service locally.
CAHC Chester Hill’s Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs — credentialled by Dietitians Australia) support patients with dietary management of a range of health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), coeliac disease, cardiovascular conditions, weight management, cancer nutrition, and paediatric eating concerns. Dietetic consultations are available at the Chester Hill clinic and, for patients who cannot attend, via home visit.
