The Memorial Hospital has an outpatient Day Rehabilitation program that operates from Monday to Saturday. The available services include physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, gym rehabilitation, occupational therapy, speech pathology and medical input.
 
The program is available to a wide variety of patients and the full cost of the program is almost always covered by private health funds, DVA, Workcover and Third Party.
 
The aim of the program is to improve independence and function while still living at home. While sessions are group based, each patient has their own individually tailored program, which is devised and progressed by the staff to enable the patient to achieve their chosen goals.
 
All sessions are conducted in the heated hydrotherapy pool and in the recently renovated and fully equipped gymnasium.
 
Specific hydrotherapy sessions are also provided throughout the week.
