Who are we?

Established in 2018, Community Based Rehab Team is a locally owned and operated allied health practice based in Alice Springs, delivering services throughout Central Australia and remote Aboriginal communities.

Our name is inspired by the World Health Organization's Community-Based Rehabilitation framework, which promotes inclusion, independence, participation and improved quality of life for people with disabilities and their families.

These principles are at the heart of everything we do.

We believe healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances or location.

Our team delivers services across a wide range of settings, including private homes, schools, aged care facilities, workplaces, remote communities and our Alice Springs clinic.

We're proud to be a locally established service with strong community connections and a commitment to improving access to quality healthcare across Central Australia.

As our practice continues to expand, we're excited to welcome new clinicians who want to grow with us and contribute their ideas, knowledge and skills.
