Care that reaches the Gulf Country

Physiotherapy for Karumba, without the drive

Karumba sits in the Gulf Country, classified as very remote, and the work here is built around fishing and prawn trawling. Those are jobs that put real load through backs, shoulders, knees and hands. No local physiotherapy in this prawn and fishing port, so options mean travelling or going online, 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
