Care that reaches the south

Physiotherapy for Hobart, without the drive

Hobart sits in the south, classified as inner regional, and the work here is built around health services, construction and port operations. Those are jobs that put real load through backs, shoulders, knees and hands. Hobart has services in town, but workers across the surrounding valleys and coastal communities can still face a long drive for consistent physiotherapy, which is exactly the gap PACT Virtual Care was built to close.

We give you the same thorough assessment, hands off treatment guidance and recovery plan, delivered by secure video so distance is no longer the thing that stops you getting care.

  • Common work and motor injuries we help with: backs, necks, shoulders, knees, sprains and strains
  • Workers compensation and CTP billed to the insurer on approved claims
  • Same day clinical reports that keep your claim moving
  • In person mobile physiotherapy arranged where a local clinician is available

Local to Hobart

Physiotherapy that understands how Hobart works

Hobart's workforce is more industrial than its postcard suggests. Nyrstar's zinc works at Lutana employs over 500 workers, Incat's crews build high speed catamarans in the production halls at Prince of Wales Bay, and the Cadbury factory at Claremont has run production lines for over a century. Add the wards of the Royal Hobart Hospital and you have a city of rotating rosters, heavy manual work and repetitive strain. PACT Virtual Care fits physiotherapy around those shifts by video, with treatment on accepted workers compensation and CTP claims billed direct to the insurer.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you book

Can I get physiotherapy in Hobart if there is none nearby?
Yes. PACT Virtual Care delivers physiotherapy to Hobart by secure video, so you can start straight away without travelling. Where a mobile physiotherapist is available near you, we can also arrange an in person home or workplace visit.
Does telehealth physiotherapy actually work for a work or car injury?
Yes. For most work and motor injuries, a guided video assessment lets us diagnose, treat and progress your recovery, with exercise and education tailored to you. We will tell you honestly if you need to be seen in person, and arrange that where we can.
Who pays for it in Tasmania?
In Tasmania we deliver workers compensation physiotherapy by telehealth, as we already do for Tasmanian employers, and we confirm MAIB motor accident cover before we start.
What do I need for the video call?
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera, and a bit of space to move. We send a secure link, with no apps to install.
How quickly can I be seen?
Usually within the same week, and often sooner. Fill in the form or call us and we will be in touch within one business day.
Can my employer or case manager refer me?
Yes. We take early intervention referrals from employers, insurers and case managers, and can start care quickly to keep recovery on track.
I work shifts at an industrial site like Nyrstar or Incat. How do I fit physiotherapy around my roster?
By booking video sessions that match your roster, not clinic hours. PACT Virtual Care runs appointments early, late or between shifts, so you are not driving across town from Lutana or Prince of Wales Bay after a night shift. On an accepted Tasmanian workers compensation claim, treatment is billed direct to the insurer with nothing for you to pay, approvals are handled for you, and an in person mobile visit can be arranged where available.
