Residential Aged Care Services

Supporting the Whole Person—Body, Mind, and Wellbeing

At Fuller Life Australia, we provide tailored, in-house and remote allied health services designed specifically for Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs). Our team understands the unique challenges faced by older adults living in care—and we work closely with facilities, residents, and families to deliver therapy that truly makes a difference.

With the shift to the AN-ACC funding model, we’ve adapted our services to ensure we’re meeting both the clinical needs of residents and the operational goals of care providers. We offer flexible, responsive solutions that enhance wellbeing, reduce risk, and support independence.

Our experienced physiotherapists provide individualised and group-based programs that promote mobility, prevent decline, and enhance quality of life. Services include:

• Reablement and maintenance programs to optimise and preserve physical function and mobility.
   
• Individualised therapy plans to reduce falls, manage frailty, and delay or prevent functional decline.
   
• Group sessions, including falls prevention, mobility circuits, strength and conditioning, and balance groups.
   
• Pain management using both active and passive techniques aligned with current best practice.
   
• Manual handling training and ‘one-off’ education sessions tailored to staff and facility needs.
   
• Injury prevention and musculoskeletal support for staff to promote workplace safety and wellbeing.
   
• Facility-directed services designed to support accreditation, compliance, and care goals.
   

Alongside physiotherapy, we also offer visiting and remote psychology services to support the emotional and mental wellbeing of aged care residents. This includes:

• Grief and loss counselling, particularly for residents who have lost loved ones, friends, or their sense of independence.
   
• Adjustment support for individuals who are new to the facility and struggling with the emotional transition of leaving their home or routine.
   
• Depression and anxiety management, using evidence-based strategies that help residents feel heard, supported, and empowered.
   
• Loneliness and social isolation interventions, designed to foster emotional connection and improve mental health in later life.
   
• Flexible delivery via secure telehealth or on-site visits (where available), depending on the resident’s needs and preferences.
   

Our psychologists take a gentle, person-centred approach—always working in collaboration with facility staff, residents, and families to create safe, trusting relationships.

We don’t just support the facility—we support the whole network around each resident. Fuller Life Australia collaborates directly with families, care managers, and funding bodies to ensure ongoing therapy access via options like

• Home Care Packages (HCP)
   
• Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA)
   
• Private health insurance
   
• Facility-funded services
