Physiotherapy for Lithgow, without the drive
Lithgow sits in the Central Tablelands, classified as inner regional, and the work here is built around coal mining and manufacturing. Those are jobs that put real load through backs, shoulders, knees and hands. Lithgow has some physiotherapy, but it is thin for a mining and industrial workforce and the city is a long drive down the mountains, 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. Online physiotherapy and telehealth physiotherapy mean the same thing here: a real consultation with an AHPRA registered physiotherapist, not a quick phone chat.
- 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

- Recover at work focus from the first consultation

Physiotherapy that understands how Lithgow works
Lithgow still works underground and on the factory floor. Centennial's Springvale longwall, around 400 people, cuts the coal that supplies EnergyAustralia's Mt Piper power station about 25 km from town, while Clarence, around 300 people, mines for the export market. In town, Ferrero has made Nutella since 1976 and Thales Lithgow Arms has built small arms for the Australian Defence Force for more than 100 years. Shift work, confined headings and repetitive line tasks all leave their mark, and while Lithgow Hospital carries a 24 hour emergency department, Sydney is a 2.5 hour drive down the mountains. PACT Virtual Care delivers physiotherapy by secure video around the roster instead, with mobile in person visits arranged where available.
