At Hunter Rehab Hub, we’re proud to support the health and wellbeing of local veterans through our specialised DVA Wellness Program. Designed specifically for veterans, this program focuses on helping participants manage pain, rebuild strength, improve physical function, and enhance overall quality of life.
Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing pain, or looking to improve your physical wellbeing, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
A unique aspect of our program is that it is run by Oliver, one of our physiotherapists who is also a veteran himself, having served in the Australian Army. Oliver understands first-hand the physical and mental demands that military service can place on the body, as well as the challenges many veterans face when transitioning into civilian life and managing long-term health conditions.
His lived experience, combined with his clinical expertise, allows him to provide compassionate, personalised care tailored specifically to the veteran community.
