Care that reaches the North West

Physiotherapy for Wee Waa, without the drive

Wee Waa sits in the North West, classified as outer regional, and the work here is built around cotton growing and agriculture. Those are jobs that put real load through backs, shoulders, knees and hands. There is no reliable local physiotherapist for the cotton workforce around Wee Waa, with the nearest in Narrabri, 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.

Local to Wee Waa

Physiotherapy that understands how Wee Waa works

Wee Waa sits on the Kamilaroi Highway, calls itself the Cotton Capital of Australia, and the work shows it. Picking, module hauling and ginning set the pace of the town's working year, Namoi Cotton was founded at a public meeting in town in 1962, cotton is still classed at the Trucking Yards Lane site it first set up, and the Australian Cotton Research Institute sits on the Namoi River between Wee Waa and Narrabri. The hospital on Alma Street provides emergency stabilisation and transfer, and the nearest private physiotherapy practices are in Narrabri, 41 km away. PACT Virtual Care delivers physiotherapy by secure video around picking and ginning rosters instead, with mobile in person visits arranged where available.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you book

Can I get physiotherapy in Wee Waa if there is none nearby?
Yes. PACT Virtual Care delivers physiotherapy to Wee Waa 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 online 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. Online physiotherapy and telehealth physiotherapy are the same thing at PACT. We will tell you honestly if you need to be seen in person, and arrange that where we can.
Who pays for it in New South Wales?
In New South Wales we treat icare and SIRA workers compensation claims and CTP motor accident claims, and bill the insurer directly. On an accepted claim there is nothing for you to pay.
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 am a rehab consultant with a worker near Wee Waa and the local physios are booked out. How do I refer?
Send the worker's name, phone number, location, claim number and insurer to [email protected] or use the referral page, and we call you back within one business day. We confirm the cover with the insurer, book the first video consultation, usually within the week, and send you the consultation note the same day. Treatment requests, progress reports and capacity advice are handled from our side.
I'm on a cotton picking crew out of Wee Waa and we run long hours once picking starts. Can I keep physio going without driving to Narrabri?
Yes. PACT Virtual Care runs by secure video, so a session can sit before the crew heads out or after the last module is built, from home or the farm office, instead of costing you the 41 km trip to Narrabri on a day you cannot spare. On an accepted workers compensation claim, treatment is billed direct to the insurer with nothing for you to pay, and session approvals are handled for you. Where available, a mobile in person visit can be arranged.
